Afternoon all and hope your Sunday is going well?
I hope this is the right place to post this question. I've been on lcwra for nearly two years because of PTSD and an arm injury. I want to go back to work, but I'm afraid they will make me do a job which will make my mental health worse. I struggle working in busy environments. I'm on lcwra because my PTSD was judged severe and over rode my arm injury. So my question is can the job centre make me do a job which will impact my mental health? Sorry for the long post

The job centre can't make do any work because you've been found to have LCWRA so you have no work commitments.
People do work while claiming LCWRA but if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then it could go against you when you're next reviewed.
If you do start working you must report a change of circumstances and tell them your working.0 -
Hello @242
Welcome to the community!
I merged your posts together and tidied them up. So everything is in one place for you 
I see Poppy has advised about how as you have been found as LCWRA they can't make you and some people do work with LCWRA. I'm one of them *waves*.
Scope has its own Employment Services. They can support from CV writing and interview skills, to support in the first few weeks in a new job. If you live in England or Wales, I'd encourage you to reach out
