    It would likely be either Aug or Sept. The exact date will depend on what date you usually receive your money each month.

    If 22nd April was the same date you reported your health condition then your waiting period will be as follows..

    May/June, June/July, July/August.. LCWRA starts from 19th August to 18th Sept and first payment will be 25th September. No LCWRA element is owed.

    If you or a partner were receiving earnings since you provided your first fit note and you didn't previously have the work allowance, you will be owed some money from that.
