    It’s not paid at all during the waiting period, which is 3 full assessment periods starting from when you provided your first fit note.

    What date exactly did you provide your first fit note?

    Was this your first work capability assessment or did you have one prior to this? If you did, what was the decision of that assessment?

    If this was the first assessment then I will need to know the exact date you provided your first fit note. You can check back on your journal to see what the date was.

    Heya @duffy3410 and welcome to the community. 

    I can see you're already getting some top advice from Poppy, but I wanted to stop in and say a quick hello. :)
