    You need to report a change of circumstances and then click "health condition" you will then need to report a fit note within 7 days of that and continue to send them without any gaps until the decision is made.

    Have you taken a look at the descriptors for LCWRA? If you haven't then you can see them here, https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity You need to make you qualify first before doing anything else because it's not awarded based on any diagnosis.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Part of the process when you report a change of circumstances for a health condition is another fit note is needed. Already being found to have LCW will make no difference.

    When you reported it last year did you put a message onto your journal?

    In a previous comment you said you couldn’t get a fit note (sick note)
