Good afternoon
Myself and my currently get universal credit of £733 per month which is made up of universal credit and housing benefit with carers allowance deducted
I have been awarded today lcwra
My question is how much is lcwra and in what way will it change the amount we get universal credit
Regards

Thanks for the clarification @mickymoo. You should now receive an additional element of LCWRA which is £341.20 a month on top of your current award.Community Manager
