Lcwra

Pammi4

hi everyone new to your site and I have felt it’s very useful and I don’t feel so alone I have worked all my life very hard physical jobs this year I have been awarded lcwra I work 15 hours a week but this is getting harder and harder to do and leaves me in a lot of pain at the end of every day my question is if I decide to stop work now and give myself a break do I have to put it as change of circumstances in journal Thankyou in advance

Hey there @Pammi4 and welcome to the community. 😁

LCWRA means you don't have to look for work, or attend any of the DWP courses, so you'd be within your rights to take some time off if it's in your benefit. You can of course put in a change of circumstances if you wish.

If you stop working then you need to report the changes and tell them.

Thankyou so much for your answers I’m trying to sort things out with work to make everything a bit easier if I did leave and put as change of circumstances would this flag up a review I was awarded lcwra in May this year and in the letter on journal they said the would review in 12 months

No, it will not prompt a review. LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. The timescale they give you is just a guide and it doesn’t mean you will be reviewed at that time. At the moment reviews are suspended for those that have LCWRA.

Thankyou so much everyone this is all new to me so I will take it one day at a time regarding working see if they can put a plan in place at work for me but has eased my mind about lcwra if I do need to leave work
