In the options you can choose to separate paragraphs by identation or

Why would you want to use both?
In *informal* letters having both, with a ragged right setting, gives a
friendlier appearance. Justified text is too formal and indentation only
or extra spacing only don't seem quite enough for the kind of letter
where topics are likely to jump around rather than follow the regular
development of a more structured document
.
LyX tries to encourage good typography.
But if you do want both, then that can be done, I think, by choosing
indentation and then setting \parskip manually in your preamble.

I use the following, in a module, for informal letters, providing both
indentation and extra spacing:
Style informal
Category MainText
LatexType Environment
LatexName informal
Margin Static
ParIndent MMM
TopSep .4
BottomSep .4
ParSep .4
Align Left
Preamble
\usepackage{hanging}
\newenvironment{informal}{%
\setlength{\parskip}{\medskipamount}
\par\raggedright\begin{hangparas}{3em}{-1}}{%
\end{hangparas}}
EndPreamble
End
