Petition Remove the 3-month "relevant period" for LCWRA Universal Credit claimants

Universal Credit claimants with limited capability for work and work related activity (LCWRA) have to wait a 3-month "relevant period" before receiving an additional amount of Universal Credit. We believe this is unfair and the "relevant period" wait of 3 months should be removed.

More details

We believe this is failing to support vulnerable disabled people. Why don't people who have limited capability for work and work related activity receive this increase immediately?

The Government should scrap the "relevant period", so claimants with limited capability for work and work related activity receive the additional amount of Universal Credit immediately.
