Hi everyone. I receive the Standard Allowance which is £334.91 p/m, plus the LCWRA which is £354.28 p/m. But having looked around, it seems I'm not getting the correct amount? If anyone knows, I'd be grateful for the information. Thanks.

Hi are you on any other benefits like esa? Or by chance looking at the rate for new financial year? It’s only just kicking in so won’t have been paid yet as paid in arrears.Life throws you curve balls and kicks you in the teeth… learning to live with weird neurological complications and spine injury and hating fall.1

What do you think are the correct rates? The rates you have quoted look like the rates before 10th April 2023.
Universal Credit Allowances aren't increased until the first full assessment period after 10th April, so you won't receive the increased amounts immediately.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.1 -
Guessing you are over 25, it is shown as £334.91 & LCWRA @ £354.28. As they are the rates for 22/23
New rates will be From 10 April (think)
£368.74 & £390.06.
But will not take effect straight away. It will be from 1st assessment period after above date.Life in the slow lane1 -
Ahh, so I was putting into Google how much both those entitlements were for 2021 and 2022 and I think it's the new rates that show on the first listing. I thought they were for previous years and I was being underpaid. Thanks a lot.born_again said:
