    If it is LCW there is no extra money. You only get extra money if it is LCWRA.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Are you working ? If you have LCW a work allowance is deducted from your earnings before your UC starts being reduced. This may be what the DWP means - you aren't getting extra money - you're just entitled  to keep more of your earnings.
