LCWRA and Universal Credit

tdn2504

I'm being assessed for my capabilities, just waiting on questionnaire then they will take it further if need be. I currently receive universal credit, but if I receive the LCWRA component will the be in replace of anything I currently get or will it be an additional award.  Not found anything clear on it .

Look forward to chatting with you and getting some advice and information.

Hi @tdn2504, it's an additional element of £341. The only time it wouldn't be extra is if you already have a partner receiving LCWRA on your claim or if you were claiming LCW or the carer element as this would replace both of those.

Thank you for clarifying this for me
