I'm self employed & I've agreed with my work coach to do 12 hours minimum a week & my minimum income floor is based on this. I've had fit notes to support my altered hours. I then went for a limited capability for work assessment. They say I do not have a limited capability for work & may be able to work some hours & that I no longer have to hand in fit notes. Then my work coach told me unless I put in for a mandatory reconsideration I'll be expected to work 35 hours from 1st Oct. So I did put in the MR. It's come back with the same decision. But in the letters they say
Our decision
Our decision
We have decided that you do not have limited capability for work
and can do some type of work
This means you might be expected to look for work, depending on
what you agree with your work coach.
What happens next
Your Universal Credit award will not change and we will contact
you to discuss the work-related requirements in your
commitmenis.
You do not need to send any more statements of fitness for work
(also known as doctor's notes or fit notes) from your doctor, unless
your condition changes.
So is my work coach wrong & i can still stay at 12 hours or are they expecting me to work full time? I'm so confused.

What is expected of you will depend on your claimant commiments. If you still disagree with the decision you can proceed to Tribunal.I'd advise you to either edit or remove that screenshot because it's showing your full name. Scope do not allow personal details to protect your identity. Scope is a public forum and anyone can see those details.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.
