    LCWRA is part of UC and increases your maximum UC entitlement by £416.19/month. This amount is the new annual increase amount and before that it was £390.06/month. 

    Your pension will reduce your UC £1 for £1. 

    Whether there’s now any entitlement to UC will depend what your maximum entitlement is. If it’s less than £900 there’s still no entitlement. If it’s more than £900 there will be some entitlement.

    Hi @blueboy23, welcome to our community :) I don't think I can answer much better than Poppy has! It does depend on what your maximum entitlement is. You can let us know and we can help you work it out possibly.

    I will move this over to our UC category incase you do have any further questions
