    What was the decision on the work capability assessment? You will only receive extra money if you were found to have Limited Capability for Work Related Activity. (LCWRA) If it was just Limited capability for work. (LCW) There's no extra money each month.
    If it was LCWRA then there's a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim.
    When it's paid from will depend on the exact date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note and what date you usually receive your payment each month.
    Without knowing that information it's not possible to tell you when it's paid from.
