    It will depend on what exactly the decision was. If it's Limited capability for work (LCW) there's no extra money.
    If it was Limited Capability For work Related Activity then the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition. Providing you're not claiming UC with a partner that already receives the LCWRA element on your claim.
    Please have another look at the decision letter to see exactly what it says.
