    You will get an extra £336 on top of what you already get and it will be added from the fourth Uc assessment period after you started handing in sick notes.

    Yes, the LCWRA element is an additional £336.20 per month.

    Do you have any earnings to be taken into account? If so you will now also have a Work Allowance which means that some of your earnings are ignored which will increase your UC further.
    Note - if you are are receiving SSP this is treated as earnings.
    Note also - if you are responsible for a child the Work Allowance will already have been included.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
