No, a LCWRA decision would be applied to your existing UC claim.

If you receive Transitional Protection it will reduce.

If you receive payment for LCW, it will reduce by the monetary difference between LCW & LCWRA.

If you don't receive payment for LCW TP will reduce by the LCWRA amount which is £423.27.
