I understand this to be a payment for those on certain disability benefits. I would like to know if it includes the limited capability for work benefit, as this was not mentioned? I believe this is the same as the disability living allowance, but the name changed when it was awarded as part of a UC claim. Does anyone know?

If it's UC you're claiming then you'll receive the £650. If you're living with other adults that also claim a qualifying means tested benefit then it's not yet confirmed whether this payment is per person or per household.mels74 said:I believe this is the same as the disability living allowance, but the name changed when it was awarded as part of a UC claim.That's not correct. DLA changed to PIP. LCWRA is completely different.You will only receive the £150 if you claim either PIP/DLA or AA. See link above.2

LCWRA is equivalent to the Support Component of ESA.mels74 said:..the limited capability for work benefit, as this was not mentioned? I believe this is the same as the disability living allowance, but the name changed when it was awarded as part of a UC claim.
