I think I applied for LCWRA instead of PIP by accident. Could I stop LCWRA as I'm over max savings?

Hi l have had a phone assesment for capabilites for work l think l have applied for wrong benefit and should have been pip. If l am successful can l apply for pip and stop LCWRA as l am over amount in savings. TIA

Hi there

Yes you can apply for PIPregardkess if the outcome if your work capability they are completely separate benefits

I presume you applied for UC or esa ? You need to inform dwp if you are over savings threshold

Sanmichelle

To be perfectly honest l cannot remember l am in such a bad place since nov l cannot remember half of things l have said or done.l.had my assessment last Wednesday many thanks

You don’t apply for LCWRA as a separate benefit.

if you applied for new style ESA it is not means tested so is not affected by savings.

if you applied for UC you will have had to declare your savings as part of the claim process and if you are over the £16,000 limit your claim would be refused. Obviously if you did apply for UC and did not declare your savings you do need to now declare them.

You need to explain all the difficulties you have the majority of the time as a consequence of ill health however many conditions, that may involve.
