LCWRA is part of UC. As it's a means tested benefit whether you qualify will depend on your circumstances. If you live with a partner you need to claim as a couple. If you have savings/capital of more than £16,000 you're excluded from claiming.

Your PIP is a separate benefit and will continue to be paid as normal because it doesn't affect your UC in a bad way.

PIP and LCWRA are 2 completey different benefits and claiming one doesn't automatically entitle you to another. There's no harm in sending your PIP assessment report (if you have it) as evidence for the work capability assessment.

Bit unrelated but I never sent any in about PIP when I sent back my UC50 recently. Would the decision maker (not the health assessment service) but the DWP decision maker see that you are getting pip without being told you are?

No, they would need to specifically look and you shouldn't assume they will.

Component react.suggestedcontent had an error.

The value must be greater than or equal to 1.
