# The Universal Credit Regulations 2013, Regulation 27: Award to include LCW and LCWRA elements


(1) An award of universal credit is to include an amount—
(a) in respect of the fact that a claimant has limited capability for work (“the LCW element”); or
(b) in respect of the fact that a claimant has limited capability for work and work-related activity (“the LCWRA element”).
(2) The amounts of those elements are given in the table in regulation 36.
(3) Whether a claimant has limited capability for work or for work and work-related activity is determined in accordance with Part 5.
(4) In the case of joint claimants, where each of them has limited capability for work or for work and work-related activity, the award is only to include one element and that is the LCWRA element if one of them has limited capability for work and work-related activity, but otherwise it is the LCW element.
