    It will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month. This is because there's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you reported your health condition, providing you sent a fit note within 7 days of that and continued to send them without any gaps until a decision was made on your claim.
    Based on limited information, your first payment will be either July or August.
