LCWRA and SSP
I’ve got confused over entitlement to LCWRA and UC. My client has been on SPP for 6 months diagnosed with cancer and getting UC for housing costs only. She has been getting standard dl PIP throughout the period too. No UC50 ever sent. I am now sending a ds1500 but can I argue that they should have awarded LCWRA from start of claim as cancer diagnosis or 13 weeks after when they should have completed a WRA.
