I just need something confirming last July I was awarded limited capability of work I work 8 hours per week and I get the work allowance. I have been told so many times you don't get no extra money for getting LCW only LCWRA. so even thou I understand that why is it on the gov website where is tells you how much each benefit is going up the LCW is still coming up and showing how much you get extra on LCW on a weekly basis when this was meant to have stopped I think back in 2017

    There are people who get extra money as a result of having LCW - these are people already found to have LCW prior to April 2017. People found to have LCW since then do not get extra money.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.
