If you reported your health condition on the same date you sent your first fit note then your waiting period will be.. Aug/Sept, Sept/Oct, Oct/Nov... LCWRA starts from AP 3rd Nov to 2nd Dec and first LCWRA payment will be 9th December 2022.

Had you reported it at the start of the July/August AP then you would have received first payment in November, which is why i asked. There's a full 3 month AP waiting time and the extra money is then paid from the 4th month.
