Hi, I am hoping someone can help me. My sister has just been awared PIP enhanced rate daily living. She also gets universal credit, lives alone and doesn't have a carer.
Does anyone know if there are any type of premiums that she would now be entitled to?
I myself get enhanced PIP. I am a single mum and as I receive income support I am entitled to 3 disability premiums.
I know disability premiums aren't available with universal credit but has anything replaced these or will my sister not be entitled to anything.
Thanks for your help x

Hi there
The only addition on uc is lcwra payment
She needs to report a medical condition on her journal and supply fit notes
This will prompt a work capability assessment and if found as kcwra additional payment is made
This is not linked to pip at all getting pip doesnt mean she will get this. It us all about her capability for work -
Hi @kimbychick
Here's a link to the government's Universal Credit: Health conditions and disability guide which covers in detail how your sister would apply for LCWRA, as advised by @janer1967
Please let us know if this helps and good luck to your sisterOnline Community Co-ordinator
