Hi.
I have received notification in my Journal, that I have been awarded Limited Capability for work and work related activity. I am pleased to find out this.
The only thing am unsure and slightly confused is if there be additional money added to my Universal Credit Award, also I have read on direct gov/universal credit, that:
"If you made a new claim for Universal Credit on 3rd April 2017, and have limited capacity for work, you will not get the extra amount"
When the Job coach advised myself to apply for the work capabilities at end of March/beginning of April, she mentioned there is extra money if I did qualify.
This is where I am confused, as if there be extra money or not. Could someone please help advise?!? As am still new to universal credit.

Sorry, should have added, the LWA doesn’t give extra money. Think they did before the date you mentioned though.1 -
With LCWRA you will get extra money but only from the fourth payment after you reported your health condition.1

@janer1967 Thank you. Fingers crossed. Hope you are well x0

If claim start date is 21st December LCWRA a payable from April payment by my reckoning.
The ‘relevant period’ is the three periods from Dec-Jan, Jan-Feb and Feb-March. So LCWRA included for March to April payable on 27th April.1 -
