    It’s £354.28 per month. It’s paid on top of your usual monthly amount. When you have your statement each month you will be able to see it added to that.

    You haven't given enough of information for anyone to be able to advise further. The first £344 per month of your earnings will be ignored anything more than this will reduce your UC by 55%. How much you're entitled to after the reduction will depend on what your maximum UC entitlement is and how much earnings you received during your assessment period.

    It isn’t LCWRA plus UC. The LCWRA is part of the UC calculation used to determine your maximum entitlement. How much UC you get will depend on the rest of your circumstances.
