    There's no extra money if the decision was Limited Capability for Work. (LCW) There's only extra money if the decision was Limited Capability For Work Related Activity. (LCWRA)

    Please have another look to see exactly what the decison is.

    Thanks. That's LCW. There's no extra money for this because the rules changed in April 2017 for new claimants. 

    As the letter advises, you won't be expected to look for work but maybe expected to attend work focused interviews to prepare to work in the future. What is expected of you will depend on your claimant commiments.

    If you disagree with the decision and they you qualify for LCWRA then you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR) You can either request this on yout journal, or write a letter and send it to UC. You should state the reasons why you think you should have been found to have LCWRA. Before going ahead with this you should look at the descriptors to see if any of them apply (you only need 1)
