  • DWP: Changes to Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCRWA) 

    Created: 05/05/2026
    News/Events Category: Employability


    LCRWA is the extra amount of money paid to people who have limited capability for work and work-related activity. Some people call this the ‘health element’ or the ‘LCWRA element’. 

    From 06 April the LCWRA extra amount is now paid at 2 rates instead of one: a higher rate and a lower rate. 

    These changes do not affect claimants currently getting LCWRA and have been since before 6 April 2026.
