Hello I am hoping that you can help me I currently receive LCWRA but it's the lower rate. I was wondering how I go about reapplying for the higher rate? I am in receipt of PIP and I get the higher rate as I get a car through the motability scheme any help would be gratefully received, Thank you.

This is no lower or higher level of LCWRA. It is only paid at one rate.0

https://www.entitledto.co.uk/help/universal-credit-rates I looked this up and I receive no extra money despite my condition getting worse (Osteoarthritis) which I have been told will only see some improvement with having a fusion by my consultant which he won't perform due to my age (43) plus there is a huge waiting list anyway...

Were you found to have LCW and not LCWRA? If so then this will be why you’re not entitled to any extra money. Those that claimed after April 2017 will not receive any extra money for LCW.0

In a previous thread in 2022 you were found to have LCW by a Tribunal. You said you were going to report a change of health condition, did you do that?0

Reviews are suspended which is why you haven't been referred for another assessment. If your conditions gave got worse and you think you qualify for LCWRA then you can report a change of health condition, supported by fit notes and then you'll be referred for another WCA.Before doing this you need to make sure you can qualify for LCWRA because it's pointless going through the process again if you can't. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity

Fit notes were no longer needed once the decision was made on your previous WCA. When you report a change of circumstances and report changes to your health then it should automatically prompt an action on your to do list to report a fit note.

You're welcome. You don't need a fit note from both your GP and Consultant. From your GP will be fine but you need to make sure you continue to send them without any gaps until a decision is made on your claim.

Good evening everyone I come bearing good news! I have finally been awarded LCWRA even though I should have been when I was first awarded PIP but I digress lol. What I have come to ask is will I be getting back pay from when I applied for it in October of last year? I have been getting universal credit LCW but didn't receive any extra money any help would be gratefully received, Thank you.0

That's good news. As you already had LCW then the extra money will be paid from the assessment period in which you reported a change in health condition, supported by a fit note.You said you reported it in October 2022 but in May 2023 i gave you advice to report the changes and provide a fit note to support that.Can you please confirm when exactly you did that and what dates your assessment periods cover or what date you usually receive your money each month.0

I didn't say October 2022 but I do see where there could be some confusion I meant October 2023 I did supply a sick note with the changes in my situation 25 September 2023 my mistake sorry and 18 Oct 2023 is when I was referred for a capability assessment I receive my money on the 23rd of every month.
Thank you

Can i please ask you to have another check on those dates because we are now in Jan 2024. You last posted here in May 2023 and you were advised that you can report a change back then. Are you saying you didn't but waited until 18th October 2023, which was 5 months after you were advised to report the changes?If it was definitely 18th October 2023 then then your first payment for the LCWRA element will be assessment period 17th October to 16th November and first payment would be 23rd November. Therefore up to now they owe you 2 months LCWRA element.0

Hi Poppy
I was told by my work coach that I was unable to re apply for LCWRA due to a backlog if anything I was too trusting (or stupid) it is my own fault I appreciate every piece of advice given to me a lot happened in that 5 month period including the loss of family members. I'd like to thank you again for everything you have helped me with in the nicest possible way I hope I don't have to speak to you again lol.
