    LCWRA is part of Universal Credit. (UC) The only other benefit that maybe possible is PIP, unless you live in Scotland and then it will be ADP, unless you're already claiming DLA.  Both of those are disability benefits but it's not awarded based on any diagnosis.

    Hello and welcome @lee1963 and welcome, thanks for reaching out here on the community.

    I see Poppy has replied above, so if there's anything else you're feeling unsure about, please ask :)

    How are you feeling about your diagnosis?
