    Can i just check exactly what the decision was please. Was it Limited Capability For Work? (LCW) You won't receive extra money if this was the decision.

    Or Limited Capability For Work Related Activity? (LCWRA) you will only receive extra money if the decision was this.
    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.

    The decision is Limited Capability for Work (LCW) this means you're not entitled to extra money. They agree that you're not fit for work but maybe expected to attend work focused interviews to prepare for work sometime in the future. What is expected of you will depend on your claimant commiments.

    If you disagree with the decision and think you should have been found to have LCWRA then you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration within 1 month of the date of the decision. Before doing this you should take a look at the descriptors to see if any of them apply to you (you only need one). You can see them here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity
