I have rang them as I don't understand them they said I was awarded in December but I didn't know I rang them as I had a phone claim asking a different question . They said march I would be paid but I've rang them they are saying June I don't understand I'm scared to call because I don't wanna feel I'm harrasing them. Will I be backdated I thought u recieved payments 3 months after you was awarded please help explain why June would be when it'll start getting paid please

    The extra money isn’t paid during the waiting period. It’s paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. Providing you sent a fit note the whole time without any gaps until a decision was made on your work capability assessment. 

    When it’s paid from exactly will depend on what date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note and what date you usually receive your money each month.
