Hi,
I am hoping someone can help me. I am currently working 14 hours a week but I think I may fit criteria for the LCWRA on UC. I claimed this while in university but stopped when I took my job but now realising I don't think I had too.
My question is, can I apply for UC and go through the process of applying for LCWRA, even while already working? Or will my claim automatically be disregarded before I get to that point. I earn around £250 a week spread over the 12 months as I am school term time only.
Thank you,

When did your UC claim end? Are you currently claiming a disability benefit such as PIP/ADP or DLA?0

Thanks. Then you will need to go through another work capability assessment so would need to report your health condition and provide a fit note.
Whether there’s any entitlement to UC will depend on your circumstances. You can use a benefits calculator to check entitlement.0 -

I thought they may not be any entitlement while you wait for the WCA. Yes, your claim will remain open while you wait.You need to make sure you provide a fit note within 7 days of reporting your health conditions and continue to provide them without any gaps until a decision is made.0
