Thanks for accepting me I do have a query which hopefully can be answered 
I'm 61 years old and living on my own I'm in receipt of universal credit housing benefit mobility at higher rate and living allowance at standard rate 
Last month I had a assessment and told I was to be put on lwcra
I have been sending in sick notes for 14 months as my health hasn't changed. My question is (1) how much is lcwra and will it affect the benefits I'm already claiming 
(2) is lcwra backdated from when I sent in my first sick note or when I received the confirmation letter 
Yours in anticipation 
Roy

    Lcwra is £343.63 per month it us backdated to the 4th assessment period after you reported the medical condition

    As regards will it affect your other benefits, the answer is not will not. it is simply an increase in the amount of UC you will receive.
