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

@Adrian_Scope
Yes Adrian it's my wife she gets the carer's of 67 25 per week and I get the universal credit -
@Adrian_Scope
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.Community Manager

Hi and welcome glad you have joined us and I hope the information given is useful to you. LCWRA payment is in addition to your normal UC
