    Hi there @soniacann and welcome to the community!  How are you today?

    I'm just moving your post into the Universal Credit category so more people will be able to see and offer some support. :)

    That will really depend on exactly how his health conditions affect him and as i don't know that then it won't be possible to tell you what his chances are. You can see the descriptors here for LCWRA https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity he will need to satisfy at least one of those.

    There's many members here that have Autism but LCWRA is not awarded based on any diagnosis so comparing others to your son will not be helpful. You need to concentrate on the reasons why you think he should be found to have this, rather than the reasons why others have been awarded it.
