Thanks David.

It was a mistake from the UC Team. They just applied LCW, which I had before, but the letter stated LCWRA after I wrote in the journal that either the letter mentioned the wrong award or the wrong element had been applied. It was the former, just found out now. They apologized for the confusion.

I must have looked like a complete idiot when I wrote to the work coach that I accepted my CC only to avoid my UC being possibly closed entirely because of the deadline, and since now I had LCWRA, that I would continue with my self employment but disagree with the 16 weekly hours of activities.

ha ha.....

Anyway, let's be realistic.....LCWRA is for people with very severe problems. I am actually glad I don't fit that category, and hope will remain out of it and have as much freedom and independence as possible, until my last day.

As for the rest, I really have nothing to complain about.....my rent gets paid, I keep a roof over my head, and even have enough money to pay for basics, and more. All I have to do is a bit of work, in my home.
Hopefully I won't have to go to the Jobcentre too often, the first interview will be apparently only 15 minutes .....let's hope that wasn't a mistake as well! Ha ha....

Thank you David.

ha ha....I have been laughing to myself for an hour. I said before that when I had LCW I felt like a 'millionaire', then like a billionaire for being on LCWRA.

I was actually checking the rates for the old LCWRA, which I knew nothing about, and though 'wow....so now I am going to get £ 423 a month, more? That's absolutely extraordinary!'.

Well I guess now it means being back to be a millionaire.....ha ha..... :)

Nah, really. No complaints from me, I have what I need. As long as I keep it, I'll manage fine. I am grateful.
