LCWRA

I have been classed as LCW for the past 3 years. In November I applied for LCWRA due to a new diagnosis and sent in a letter from my consultant, I have not supplied any fit notes and haven't been asked to....should I question this?

If you reported a change of circumstances and then "clicked" health condition then it should have prompted you to provide a fit note within 7 days of that. 

How did you report the changes? Did you just put a message onto your journal? Have you been referred for another work capability assessment?

Hi Poppy. I firstly put a message on my journal and then reported it as a change in health. I was not prompted to provide a fit note? I have filled in and returned a WCA questionnaire/booklet.

Due to continually providing fit notes for tge best part of two and a half years, my only commitments were to log in frequently?

You shouldn't have needed to continue to provide fit notes after the decision was made on your last WCA.

Hi Poppy. I did question this on my journal last night and the response I had said that if I had a "worsening of condition" then I would have needed to supply a fit note. My condition did worsen 18 months ago, of which I reported in the correct way, but this new diagnosis explains the rest of my symptoms.
I hope this makes sense?
