For LCWRA you need to get 15 points in one of these categories:
If you don't score from one of those descriptors, then it's 15 points total elsewhere.
That would award you LCW, which doesn't pay any additional money and would mean being under a work coach to do activities to prepare you for work.

It is often difficult to advise based on one or two forum posts but in this case I don't think there is any doubt that you should be awarded LCWRA.

Hi,
If you have an APA with Universal Credit then you get 2 payments each month. As most months are not exactly 4 weeks, this means that some payments will be more than 14 days later. That is totally normal. It is not fortnightly in the same way that ESA was.
