Good afternoon 
Myself and my currently get universal credit of £733 per month which is made up of universal credit and housing benefit with carers allowance deducted
I have been awarded today lcwra
My question is how much is lcwra and in what way will it change the amount we get universal credit 
Regards

    She also gets the element but give you that then deduct because she gets the carer's

    Thanks for the clarification @mickymoo. You should now receive an additional element of LCWRA which is £341.20 a month on top of your current award.
