Quick question that I should know but don’t.

MAC claiming UC, older partner treated as having LCWRA due to PIP, younger partner working - do they qualify for a work allowance due to older partner’s LCWRA or does it have to be the younger partner who works who would need the LCW as well?

Thanks :-)

Work allowance applies, it doesn’t matter whether person or partner of person with LCW who is working (reg 22 UC Regs)
