No. LCWRA has nothing to do with help with your rent, whether that's through UC or housing benefit.

If you are liable for paying Council Tax, then LCWRA status may help with getting 'Council Tax Reduction' but again that is not a UC benefit - it is given by your local authority. You would have to check with them.

I think they have said they want to adopt Rishi Sunaks plan to remove three key descriptors that allow you to claim WCA..mobility incontinence and if the job is dangerous to the individual.

I thought they want to remove substantial risk ?

That plans will see me screwed, will it be for new claimers or existing claims, I don't know what they expect me to do, currently in the support group for ESA, just filled in ESA50 so waiting on a reassessment, I have Severe anxiety disorder, and severe IBS , which means I struggle to leave my home, so there get me on job seekers with no really chance of be working, to hounded by a work coach, but I have not doubt, my doctor will give me fit notes, but the dwp will save 400 pounds a month, and leave me in poverty, with no positive outlook , so anxious, does anyone know when we will anymore news ?

I read that these changes will be for new claims..I have also read that it'll be important once they have rules in place not to then get reassessed or they may withdraw the support...so likely you're OK for now but just don't report extra changes if they give you the maximum..don't rock the boat keep your head low...if cynical I think they just will look for any excuse tge cut

Problem is I recently sent of my ESA 50, and due to back log ,god knows when I have a assessment, also on my different ish note, I ask my doctor for a letter about my condition, witch be put on a fit note, as he said a letter would cost money, so I send that of as evidence, as saying my condition not going to get better, I saw somewhere on here if you send a fit note, that will trigger them to start asking for them, is this true ? It's all very confusing, I haven't been assessed for ESA for over 10 years

Just read your post, about sending Esa50 back. I sent mine back in January still not heard anything. Still getting payment. I rang dwp, automatic message that if you sent back Esa50 they will contact you

No on old style ESA and a ESA 50 out of the blue

I still don't get what the hell moving home has to do with lcwra or a UC50 or why a reassement would be needed if no changes whatsoever in health have occurred.

I really don't get it all. So a court challenge 10th - 11th Dec but it say's online it could be weeks after that for a verdict.
If (can) Liz Kendall bring out a white paper before that (doesn't anyone know when is said?). If it is different to Tory proposals does that make the court case null and void?
If it was disagreed with would another court case have to be initiated?
I presume nothing can be made law with an outstanding court case.
So I will just keep worrying then. This has been hanging over us all a year now.

I would imagine the judge can legally impose a pause on the whole thing until the decision.
as for her silly white paper I'm sure it will take ages especially with constant backlash already and questions constantly arising over legalities of this and that. hopefully she'll get told to use it to wipe her backside which is likely all the use it'll serve.
