    You are entitled to an extra £48.50 per week, dating from the 13th week of your claim.

    Yes this happens automatically.

    Sorry I was receiving around 180 a fortnight ESA that’s going up to approximately 240 a fortnight is the LWCRA extra to that or is that included in the 240

    The rate is £92.05 Basic Allowance + £48.50 for Support Group (LCWRA is a Universal Credit term).
