    Hi and welcome 

    It looks to me like the date to start your claim has not yet been decided and been challenged which could be reason for not having payment yet 

    This is just my guess though 

    I would try contact your case manager through your journal or by phone as they are only one who can provide an answer

    So regardless of when I first put my fit note in if a decision to start my claim hasn’t even been decided it could mean I have to wait a further 3 months if I do get a date or so on?

    It seems they are disputing if your claim 3 months waiting period should be from 10th aug or 30th sept 

    I dont know about 18 prognosis maybe it is recommended review time 

    Honestly I am no expert on this you need to speak to them 

    I am only making presumptions here

    I'd say your 18 months prognosis + 1 is that they received your medical evidence a month before they did the actual assessment so this extra month has been added on in your favour. Like Janer said above though this is just a guess and only contacting DWP will get this confirmed for you.
