I don't know what you mean by this.

LCWRA is part of UC. If you receive any payments from UC then it's likely you will be entitled to the £324. However, the full criteria hasn't yet been announced.

Ok thank you I’m being told LWCRA is new style esa

That's not correct, it is part of UC. Support Group is part of ESA.

I get that but they are saying it’s the new esa and new esa are not entitled confusing

Do you receive any Universal Credit at all? New style ESA doesn't entitle you to the CoL payment of £324.

I get £127 a month

Thanks. So your benefits are New style ESA and UC then tops up your income by £127/month. This means you maybe entitled to the £324 but the qualifying criteria hasn't been announced yet. You will need to take a look when they announce it.

Your UC maximum entitlement will include standard element and LCWRA element. Your New style ESA will be deducted in full. There must also be some other deductions for other things (possibly advance payment) from your UC.

Yes they award £334 UC and £354 LWCRA then take away £509 for esa and £34.90 for advances giving me £127.94 monthly payment from UC so I see what you mean I do get a UC payment so should get the COL payment
