You will need to report a change of circumstances. Then click "health condition" then report it this way. You will need a fit note too. You will then be referred for a work capability assessment and will be sent the UC50 form to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence. Another assessment is most likely because most people have them.

Before reporting changes you should have a look at the descriptors for LCWRA to make sure you qualifying. A worsening of condition doesn't automatically entitle you to this. You can see them here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity
