There is a three month waiting period. From the fourth month you will start to receive the extra amount.

So I wont recive the extra money on my universal credit on the 11th may? It will be the month after?

Nor am I a UC expert @MarkN88 I believe you're correct tho, as 5th - 11th Feb won't count, so 12 Feb - 11th March (1st month); 12th March - 11th April (2nd month); 12th April - 11th May (3rd month), so payment due in the 4th month on 11th June.

Just to add chiareds cal inaction is correct
-
Payment date 11th of the month. I infer the AP is therefore 5th of month to 4th of month.
Medical condition reported on 5th February.
First month of the relevant period is 5th Feb to 4th March, second month is 5th March to 4th April, third month is 5th April to 4th May LCWRA element payable starting 5th May to 4th June which is payable on 11th June.
As advised by Mark in first instance.Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK. -
Thank use x

Thank you for the correction @calcotti - again I will try & remember. Please note, I wasn't trying to correct Mark, whom I thought had already answered correctly.
