LCWRA and savings

I know my universal credit would drop for savings over £6000
But would my LCWRA drop too

Hi @tristan100 - LCWRA is just an element or part of UC, so if you have savings of £6000 or more, then your UC payments would be reduced by £4.35 for every £250 (or a remaining part of £250) that you have between £6,000 and £16,000.

let’s say in principle if I had £17000,I know I would lose all of my UC,but would my LCWRA also go down or lose it?

As was explained above, Tristan, the LCWRA is an element of UC. It isn't a separate payment.

Deductions are made from UC as a whole.
If you have £17,000, you would lose all of the UC, including LCWRA and the Housing Element.
If part of the £17,000 came from benefits backpay, then it can be disregarded, and you would keep the UC.
