    You should put a message onto your journal under the payment section and ask about the LCWRA element. Tell them that you’re in the Support Group for ESA and the money for that is being deducted from your UC and you want the LCWRA added to your claim. 
     I'm no better off, give you an increase then take it off elsewhere 
    Of course you're better off because you'll also receive the £343 extra in your UC. At the moment the full amount is being deducted from your UC.
    If it wasn't deducted then you'd be receiving it twice, which isn't right.
     The woman from esa said anything I get from them will be taken off uc, is this right?

    Yes, that's correct, that's why there's a £497 deduction in your UC.
    Your UC statement should read. Standard Allowance single person (if over over 25) £324.84 or £257.33 if under 25... LCWRA element £343.63. housing element XX .. then the ESA deductions.
    Have a look again at your statement and tell me exactly what elements you have on there please.

    Calcotti is correct there’s no LCWRA element added. I did see that you were told that ESA are going to contact UC to tell them that you’re in the Support Group so hopefully you should receive what you’re owed soon.

    Finally the " decision maker" at dwp had put me in the lcwra group for my uc and I no longer have to submit fit notes for the time being, this is now aligned with my esa status.  Thanks for all the advice
