Assessed as being LCW, grateful to hear anyone's input

Hi Lovely Pips

As a new years present, I got the decision on my WCA on the 02/01/25. I have been UC for nearly 3 years now and am assessed as being in the LCW group. I recently sent in a UC50 form with plenty of medical evidence and did an assessment with a nurse last year and they have come back with a decision that I am still in the LCW group; so still no uplight in my benefits. I have Complex PTSD, Panic Disorder, Chronic Severe Depression, Generalised Anxiety and Social Anxiety. I would be grateful to hear anyone’s input

Many thanks
