UC has replaced all other benefits. As your UC includes the LCWRA element and carers element then it sounds like you're claiming everything you're entitled to. There is no other benefit added to UC.Does this couple that you know claim any of the old legacy benefits, rather than UC? You maybe referring to a severe disability premium which can be paid in with the old legacy benefits. Unfortunately, this isn't payable when claiming UC.1

That's what i thought. Legacy benefits are different to UC.
