    I think this more like the old SDP (severe disability payment). So the most disabled claimants will get extra money. Generally I do think that is a fair way to do it. But will need to see the exact criteria to work out whether it will be applied fairly or not.

    I came across an item yesterday on YouTube by the justice journals. My understanding is that from April 2026 they will slowly be changing the goal posts and getting rid of LCWRA, bumping people up to LCA, and those in LCW to IWS. It’s all part of this getting people to try work without affecting their benefit, as if. It's totally wrong and I didn’t think they could do this but they are the government and DWP so suppose they can.
