Hi,

I'm sorry if this is outside the remit of the forum. I'm on UC with the LCWRA element. I also claim PIP.

If I were to get the NEA payments, would they replace my UC or would I get them on top of it?

I have a phone call scheduled with JCP, but it's not for a couple of weeks.

Thank you.

Hello cats

I don't know the answer to your question, but this link seems to suggest that you would still get your UC.

My concern would be that you have been placed in LCWRA group because the DWP consider that you have limited capability for work related activities. If you start running your own business they might well wish to revisit that decision, and you would potentially lose that benefit.

PIP however is not a means tested benefit so would not be impacted.

This is obviously a big decision and we would advise you to seek specialist advice

This can be a helpful link in locating someone.

Hope this helps,
Catherine
