One off £150 payment in September

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?

No, because LCWRA is not a disability benefit. 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.

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.

LCWRA is equivalent to the Support Component of ESA.

Thanks to you both for this information. I understand it now!
