Hi shadows
Unfortunately that may well be correct. Here is the guidance from the CPAG:-
"Freezing of the rate of the LCW and LCWRA elements
What's happening?
The amount of the limited capability for work (LCW) and limited capability for work-related activity (LCWRA) elements are to be frozen at the 2025/26 rate in the years from 2026/27 to 2029/30.
However, in those years, the amount of either the LCWRA element or the standard allowance must be increased for 'pre-2026 claimants', 'severe conditions criteria claimants' or claimants who count as terminally ill, if otherwise the sum of those amounts would not increase by the rate of the consumer price index when compared to the preceding year "
