Is there any increase in payments when getting LCWRA?

I'm so confused with this all. I have been awarded LCWRA after being on UC.
I thought LCWRA was the same as PIP but it's obviously not.
Is there a time limit on how long it lasts & also, is there any increase in payments after being on normal UC ?
Thanks for your advice, all is welcome as I'm so lost ! 🥴😱😩

LCWRA is part of UC. Providing you’re not claiming UC with a partner that already receives this element on your claim then you will be entitled to an extra £354.28/month, which will increase your maximum UC entitlement.

When it’s paid from exactly will depend on what date you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note and what date you usually receive your money each month.

LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

PIP is a completely different benefit.

Am I reading right & you meant to say I'd get an EXTRA £354.28 per month or was that a typo !?!?

Somehow my reply to Poppy123456bhas actually attached itself to your original message !
I'm trying to reply to you by asking " Am I reading right & you meant to say I'd get an EXTRA £354.28 per month or was that a typo !?!? "
Sorry to be so confusing but I'm new to this & obviously don't know how it works !! 🥴 Sorry & thanks for your reply

No, it wasn't a typo at the moment the LCWRA element is £354.28/month extra. Increasing to £390.06/month when benefits increase next month.
