There’s a full 3 month assessment period waiting time and then the extra money starts from the 4 month of your claim. This means the extra money isn’t paid at all for those waiting months.Whether you’re owed any money depends on what date exactly you reported your health condition and the exact dates of your assessment periods. (Or the date you usually receive your payment) Without knowing the exact dates it’s not possible to advise.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.
