in Universal Credit (UC)
Hi there so I'm claiming PIP,universal credit as well as being awarded an placed into the LCWRA group...
But recently my UC payments have been reduced to a un-livable amount 
So I'm just wondering what is the LCWRA amount that's awarded? and what is the standard amount of universal credit for a single person over 25 claiming the sick element also awarded?? Thank you

    Why have your UC payments been reduced to an unliveable amount? 

    Standard allowance for 25 and over is now £393.45/month
    LCWRA element is £416.19/month. This is payable from the 4th month after you provided your first fit note. It’s not paid at all before that time. 

    There’s no such thing as the “sick element “ 

    Please also note that those amounts are the new April amounts and the first to see those increases will be those with a payment due on or after May 14th. 

    You can check your statements and that will tell you what’s included as well as any deductions.
