The Universal Credit Regulations 2013

Award to include LCW and LCWRA elements U.K.

27.—(1) An award of universal credit is to include an amount—

(a) in respect of the fact that a claimant has limited capability for work (“the LCW element”); or

(b) in respect of the fact that a claimant has limited capability for work and work-related activity (“the LCWRA element”).

(2) The amounts of those elements are given in the table in regulation 36.

(3) Whether a claimant has limited capability for work or for work and work-related activity is determined in accordance with Part 5.

(4) In the case of joint claimants, where each of them has limited capability for work or for work and work-related activity, the award is only to include one element and that is the LCWRA element if one of them has limited capability for work and work-related activity, but otherwise it is the LCW element.
