in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi there I have just been granted Lcwra, I am 43 years old, single and live with a friend. With the lcwra and my universal credit, does anyone know how much it is I will receive a month?

    The LCWRA element will increase your maximum UC entitlement by £390.06/month. This is payable from the 4th month after you reported your health condition/sent your first fit note.

    Also poppy, do you know, would I be entitled to sever disability premium if I get enhanced rate on both elements of pip along with me being on lcwra?

    No because the disability premiums are not payable when claiming UC (LCWRA is part of UC). They only apply to legacy benefits such as Income Related ESA, JSA and Income Support.
