UC And LCWRA

Hi hope someone can answer a simple question.
We have just received a letter today stating that my partner is entitled to LCWRA. I know there is a extra payment.
I work full-time and we get UC top up on wages as my partner is registered disabled.
Will we get this extra payment?
Also I see if could be back dated if so is it backtaed to 3 months after you submitted your first sickline?
All help appreciated
Thank you 😊

If this hasn't been included already the calculations should now include a Work Allowance which is an amount of your earnings that are ignored before calculating the earnings deduction. The Work Allowance is £292/month if your claim includes help with rent, £512 if it doesn't.
incidentally when DWP recalculate earlier payments they will most likely overwrite the earlier versions of the statements so you may want to print them or do screen captures of them before this happens just in case you want to be able to compare them.
