Hello,  
The use of LDA score filtering in addition to significance filtering is used to identify features that are most likely to be associated with the class variable. There is some amount of personal preference around whether you consider this to be stringent enough for your needs–see [this](https://forum.biobakery.org/t/multiple-comparison-correcting/258) conversation thread, which gets into this a bit.  
I hope that helps!  
Best,  
Meg
