    Hello @Johnk123

    Welcome to the community! :)

    I've popped your post in our Universal Credit section of the forum. LCWRA is for Limited Capability For Work and Work Related Activity. It means that they understand there are certain barriers for you when it comes to applying for work. 

    For example, when I was on limited capability, I couldn't apply for jobs that involved heavy lifting as I have a stoma. You also get extra money for that award, it will all be in the letter :)

    Hello hanna have only received online letter telling me I've been awarded lcwra but not telling me much else, missed a phone call from someone from a uc Wrexham service centre to discuss online letter, is ringing me back tomorrow but feeling a bit anxious not knowing what to expect. Thanks your quick response greatly appreciated

    The only thing I can think of is that you need to accept your new claimant commitments and they are doing that through a phone call. Your new commitments will be just to agree to report any changes.

    @Johnk123 Don't be nervous, the call tomorrow will hopefully be able to tell you more :)

    Can I just check that the decision was definitely Limited Capability for Work Related activity. (LCWRA) and not just Limited Capability for work. (LCW)?
