It applies to those claimants with the most severe and lifelong he alth conditions or disabilities .

If the healthcare professional advises that a claimant has LCWRA and that all FOUR of the following criteria are met, the y will also advi se that the claimant meets the S evere C ondition criteria .

As per criterion 1 A person within the first 12 months following a significant stroke who may recover function during rehabilitation, so whilst the condition is lifelong, function migh t improve Unambiguous condition They have been through relevant clinical examinations with their health practitioner and full investigations have been completed. There should be no doubt that the person is significantly and substantially impaired. As per criterion 1 Some pain syndromes might not be fully understood or investigated.
