Am I entitled to another benefit due to long term injury?

I'm curious as well, why would it be from month 4 when the injury leading to not working was from the very start?

The rules are the same for everyone. Onset of the injury or disability is completely irrelevant.

However they don't assess your walking ability, they assess your mobilising ability - if they reckon you could reasonably use a wheelchair to move the relevant distances they'll likely deem you fit for work, unless any of the other activities score you points.

The other thing to consider is how soon you are reasonably expected to recover - there are rules about the duration of any disabling condition. It is very possible your work coach has used their discretion to turn off work search requirements due to your injury, rather than refer you for a WCA because it is expected to be temporary.
