    Yes @poppy123456 I read it but it doesn’t say anything that applies to me,my original claim ended December 2023,I made an error claim February 2024,A reclaim march 2024 and because of the error claim LCWRA is cancelled out according to UC.I think I’ll just give up and live as I’ve always done on minimal ,I can’t keep back and forth with people who are hellbent on trying to get the elderly to look after the young ones,I’m only 11 months from pension anyway.I’ve challenged this in my journal and I’ll wait and see,have a great evening.

    I was assessed in Feb 2024. Awarded LCWRA in March 2024. Then, apparently, I asked for my UC claim to be closed in April 2024.

    When I saw that my claim was closed, I immediately claimed again. Incredibly, it showed as a new claim and not a reclaim. Also, the Assessment Period dates had changed. This was claimed in under a day using the same login details.

    MR changed decision on UC closure. But LCWRA not reinstated. Gone to Tribunal.

    Spike1776, I suggest this. Ask for a Mandatory Reconsideration. Then, if the MR decision is not in your favour, take it to Tribunal.
