Hi everyone I have 2 jobs one in the morning and one in the evening.
I have been sick for a few months and uc made me fill out some forms and have a health assessment.
I had a health accesment telephone call on Tuesday and I put my new sick notes in to work on the Thursday that last for 4 weeks, I was about to put my sick note into uc on the Friday, when I got a email to say that I have lcwra and I no longer have to put in sick notes to uc. I am still under the hospital and still waiting for more to be done.
Anyway my question is do I still put sick notes into my jobs as nothing as been said about this and I have no idea, thanks for any help.

    Hi @Tbjanuary and welcome to the community. :)

    I'm glad to hear the DWP have granted you LCWRA, I hope that takes a load off! With regard to work, I'd be guessing you'd still need to be handing in sick notes, though you can tell them you've been found LCWRA as well and see what they say?

    Can I hold off telling them that I got lcwra or do I need to tell them ?
    As I am still waiting for a test at the hospital, there is a waiting list for this test and I have told work that I'm still not feeling well and I am still waiting for tests to be done

    You still need to continue with fit notes to your employer. You do not have to tell them about the WCA decision.
