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?

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.
