    Dude take no notice these youtube channels are clickbait she is wrong existing claimants that get lcwra wont be effected however new claimants will see theirs halved government website etc is best place to look youtube is full of chances talking rubbish clickbait so do not listen to these youtubers πŸ™„ you might wanna take that down or if someone sees it and takes it the wrong way misconstrued by it then they might start sharing it around as its a load of rubbish so stay away from youtube clickbaiters yeah.

    yes agreed, it's not existing claimants and by watching that you'll mess up your YouTube algorithm and be spoon fed more garbage recommendations instead of videos you'd actually like.

    Yes thats right however bear in mind lcwra reassessments begin in April however this is being done on a gradual level targeting certain claimants first then it will become more broad
