I am on LCWRA recently but want to get back to work. I’m not sure if I can though so have got myself a two month role to see how I get along. I’m off with anxiety and depression. Will it affect my LCWRA if I find it’s too much and can’t cope. I want to move forward but also mindful of I get worse whilst in work. I’m not sure what to do.

I gave you advice on this back at the end of January, please see my advice in your other thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/114329/on-lcwra-can-i-go-back-to-work-full-time#latest the advice remains the same as what I gave in that thread.It’s entirely up to you what you decide to do. Many people work while claiming LCWRA.0

Hello @BillyGoatGruff
I claim LCWRA and work. Can I ask, are you in England or Wales? Have you thought about reaching out to Scope's Employment Services for support?They can help from CV writing, to interview skills and even support you in the first few weeks of a new job.

Hi Hannah
in England and no I hadn’t. I am ok with my C.V as only had it done last year as only been out of work since September. Thank you for the suggestion though.1
