I've just been awarded LWRC...can anyone explain what this means plz?
I was dismissed through ill health from HMRC in August 2018 but have had £134 from Universal Credit...its been a nightmare.
Kind Regards

    Hi there 

    Lcwra means you do not need to look for work and any work commitments will stop 

    You will also be entitled to additional £343.63 per month on your uc from the 4th month after you reported the condition  

    Any other questions just ask

    Hello @merrymerry60 and welcome to our community.

    I hope @janer1967 's reply has given you a better understanding of what being found to have Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA) means.

    If you have any other questions, fire away.  And here's some more information on Entitled.to's Universal Credit Limited Capability for work webpage.

    Just to advise, I've tweaked the title of your thread and moved it to our Universal Credit category.  Take care and you know where we are if you need us :)
