How much is LCWRA? Will it affect my current benefits? When is it backdated to?

Thanks for accepting me I do have a query which hopefully can be answered
I'm 61 years old and living on my own I'm in receipt of universal credit housing benefit mobility at higher rate and living allowance at standard rate
Last month I had a assessment and told I was to be put on lwcra
I have been sending in sick notes for 14 months as my health hasn't changed. My question is (1) how much is lcwra and will it affect the benefits I'm already claiming
(2) is lcwra backdated from when I sent in my first sick note or when I received the confirmation letter
Yours in anticipation
Roy

Lcwra is £343.63 per month it us backdated to the 4th assessment period after you reported the medical condition
