When the decision was originally made that placed you into the LCW group you wouldn't have needed to provide any further fit notes.

If you then reported changes to your health condition you should have provided fit notes and continue to provide them until a new decision is made on your new WCA. Once a decision is made you'll receive a letter on your journal, if you have access to one.

Thank you for the quick response yes am Lcw, I thought you still need to submit Sick notes until you find out, after submitting a UC50 from you would be getting the Lcw ra group then you would stop submitting sick notes thank you

Your question isn't clear. When was the decision made on your first work capability assessment?

Did you report a change of health condition that prompted them to refer you for another work capability assessment?

If a decision had been made you would have received a letter on your journal. Until you do receive that you need to continue to provide fit notes. You will most likely need an assessment before a decision is made because most have them.

Ok thank you, I will see if I hear anything back from them this week, just that they have stopped my fits notes now, they said not to submit any more fitnotes that's why I was a wee bit concerned or a wee bit confused about it all thank you

They haven't stopped your fit notes, you can still provide them when your current one ends. If you stop the fit notes then it can affect when the extra money is paid from if the decision is LCWRA.
