What is the "health element" of UC that IFS.org says exists?

Legwax

I am on UC and LCW. I receive the standard amount for over 25 year old single adult. I don't get PIP. Is the health element a figure of cash or an approximation of equitable value of something else? I have struggled for 3 years living below the poverty line and have never seen or heard of this "health element" before today. Thank you.

They are talking about the limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) which is an extra £416.19 ontop of the standard UC amount.

Thank you Fuji. Confusing wording.

Hello

Good vibes for everyone

My question and concern are the following...

I am on UC LCWRA.

I am gonna be dismissed by my employer due my health condition

Should I have to report to Universal Credit that ...or is not necessary as I am on LCWRA.

Thanks

😊
