Going abroad on while having LCWRA

Hello,
So I am currently planning a trip to Canada for next year. My partner is Canadian and we are planning our engagement. But first I would like to meet his parents. I haven't been abroad as I suffer from anxiety and depression and struggle doing daily tasks. I am wondering whether I need to inform universal credit of my trip to Canada next year, or whether it will affect my LCWRA. I only plan to go for 2 weeks, no more than that.
Any advice would be appreciated.

As you have LCWRA then you have no work requirements so you don’t need to inform them. You are allowed to go abroad for a maximum of 1 month without it affecting your UC.0

Hello poppy123456,
is their proof that when you are LCWRA and uc you can go away abroad and your benefits are not effected, can i also ask how many times can you go away like for medical reasons due to stiffness in ankles and wrists

When claiming UC you can go abroad for up to 1 month. The day you leave and come home are not counted in that timescale. There's no maximum amount of times you're allowed to go in a year.
