The Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) element, designed for individuals whose health conditions or disabilities restrict their ability to work, will see its payment structure overhauled. Previously, claimants received over £420 per month for LCWRA, but under the new regulations, this amount will be split into two tiers.
