Lcwra

Kerry2024

Hi all

Just looking for some advice please?

I have been signed off work since September 2024 due to a Crohn's flare up.

I've recently been awarded lcwra.

My current sick note ends march 17th. (My SSP ends at end of march. )

Still not fully recovered so unlikely I'll be back on that date.

I receive the child element of universal credits as well as the disabled child element.

My daughter is due to leave college this summer. So all child payments will then stop.

I'm just abit confused about how things will be for me financially.

I worked 20 hours at job. Roughly earning about £1000 per month.

If I'm not well enough to return to work will I be much worse off financially now I'm receiving lcwra or would I be better off if I'm able to work?

Thankyou
