    So I clicked that is correct and the message I got was :

    Thank you for telling us about this change.

    If this affects your claimant commitment we'll be in touch.

    That sound normal?

    Hello @Ray212.

    Yep, that all looks correct to me. The work allowance is automatic and should show up on your next statement near the end (under the 'deductions' section).

    Your LCWRA will continue, unless you are reviewed and a new decision is made.

    With prescriptions, it depends how much you earn. As you have LCWRA, you can earn up to £935 a month and still be entitled to free prescriptions. If you earned over this one month, you won't be entitled to free prescriptions during the following assessment period. But if your earnings went down again the next month, you would be during the assessment period after.

    That's great thank you. Appreciate your help. That makes sense.
