There are no plans to include this information in the UC Service in a way that would enable management information to be produced on it automatically. This is because, once the threshold for entitlement is reached in the Work Capability Assessment, which has the purpose of determining entitlement to LCW or LCWRA, the actual number of points, and the extent to which the entitlement threshold is exceeded, is not a relevant piece of data to collect or retain.
