Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me with my question about the payment for LCWRA, I read on the UC website that the standard payment for LCWRA is £390.06 a month, I'm currently just on the standard allowance of £292.11, Ive been told that I will start to get my new payment for LCWRA in September next month, but does that mean ill get both payments monthly or will I just be getting the LCWRA payment from now on?
Thank you.

    You will receive both payments because LCWRA is part of UC and increases your maximum UC entitlement. LCWRA will be paid in with your usual monthly payment from September.

    The 390 is a Top-up, it will be added to what you usually get for UC. So you will recieve £682.17 per month on the regular day you get UC.
