Returning to work - LCWRA

KoreyJ22

Hello everyone  
I was granted LCWRA after a breakdown, (easiest way to put it) and I am now starting to feel a bit better again. I want to return to the work environment.

What would be the process in regards to LCWRA? Would I simply just inform UC of my plans to RTW?

Any advice would be wonderful! 

Thank you in advance, 

Korey

Yes, once you start working you need to "report a change of circumstances" by logging into your journal, assuming you have access to one. The click "work and earnings" and tell them you've started work.

You have the work allowance so any earnings up to that amount will be ignored, after that there will be a 55% deduction in your UC. If you claim for help with the rent then it will be £379/month, if you don't it will be £631/month.

Please be aware, if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then it could go against you at your next review.
