    The waiting period is 3 full assessment periods and the extra money is paid from the 4th month after you first reported your health condition/sent your first fit note. It's not paid at all during the waiting period.

    Based on the information you gave your waiting period will be Feb to May.. LCWRA starts from assessment period 28th May to 27th June and first payment will be 4th July. No LCWRA element is owed.
