Hi,
The LCWRA is extra element added to you maximum entitlement. It’s payable from the 4th month of your claim.
PIP is separate and continues as normal.

Hello @Cas1979

Wishing you a warm welcome to the community, I hope you are well this morning.

Universal Credit can be quite confusing when you encounter it for the first time, much like other benefits for that matter, so you absolutely aren't alone in not being sure how it works. Scope have a useful information page here about UC which might help you become a bit more familiar with it.

I have moved your discussion over to our Universal Credit category, which you also might like to browse for related discussions, and also feel free to explore the rest of the community and let us know if you have any questions.
