If working on LCWRA, and then you leave your job, are you expected to then engage in work activity?
If you've been given LCWRA and shown you can work, if you decide to leave (can you be sanctioned for this as well even if you have LCWRA?) would you then be expected to participate in work related activity i.e. move you to LCW? Or would they just leave you in LCWRA?

If, for the majority of the time, you need someone to accompany you to a familiar or unfamiliar place but say on the odd occasion you could go on your own, would you still get it? On page 137, it says this: The highest…

Savings and Universal Credit - When to let them know?
Hello, If my savings are below 6000 and I'm dipping in and out of my savings every now and again, do I need to let DWP know? Or is this only if it's above 6000? Similarly, I presume I don't need to report every time I dip in above 6000? I guess just be mindful of if it goes over each 250 i.e. 6250 then 6500 etc, to make…
