Hi and welcome to the community 

If you have been awarded lcw there is no extra payment you only get extra if awarded lcwra 

You no longer have to provide fit notes or look fir work,  your work coach should be in contact to set any new commitments

Hi thank you for your message how do you get accepted for lcwra what meets there criteria

If you have been awarded lcw you would have to appeal this decision if you think you should have been awarded lcwra 

If you look at some of the other posts in uc section relating to lcwra you will find some links to the eligibility to get lcwra

You need to request the Mandatory Reconsideration. (MR) Full details here. https://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/benefits/universal-credit/problems-with-your-payment/challenging-a-universal-credit-decision-mandatory-consideration/

Before doing this you should take a look at the descriptors for LCWRA to check you qualify. There's no point going any further if you don't.
