    LCWRA is part of Universal Credit. You also mention claiming New style ESA and handing in fit notes for 3 years but I'm confused about this because New style ESA is only paid for 1 year unless you're placed into the Support Group/LCWRA. For this reason I'm assuming your ESA payments stopped. is that correct?
