    No, it would not be related to the shower seat. It will be an appointment with your work coach and they have nothing to do with the work capability assessment. At the moment you are treated as a job seeker until a decision on your work capability assessment says otherwise.

    Hopefully it won’t be too long for that decision.

    If that decision was Limited Capability for work (LCW) you will not be entitled to extra money. You will only be entitled to extra money if the decision was Limited Capability for work related activity. (LCWRA)

    If the decision was just LCW and you think you should have been found to have LCWRA you can challenge that decision by requesting the Mandatory Reconsideration.
