    Was the 30th January the date you provided your first fit note? If so, then your waiting period will be Feb to May.. LCWRA element starts from AP 27th May to 26th June and first payment will be 3rd July. No LCWRA element is owed.

    You're welcome. It's the date you provide the fit note that counts, not the date on the fit note. They will accept the fit note when you provide it but they don't usually accept the backdating when working out when the extra money is paid from.
