Hi,
The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods, then the extra money is paid from the 4th month of your claim. Which starts from when you reported your health condition providing you sent your fit note within 7 days. You must have continued to send them without any gaps until the decision was made on your WCA.The LCWRA will start from either June or July, depending on the exact date you reported your health condition and the dates of your assessment periods (or the date you usually get paid)I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
