LWCA when in UC

sc123

hi just wanted advice. I have been off work since October. I work 32 hours a week. Have medal problems that are keeping me longer off work for further 2 months. I will be under hospital for a while now. I claim a bit universal credit live on my own. Have sent my sick notes into my employer but did inform universal credit. They now say they are sending me form out for my health. I do get full sick pay from work though. I am going to try to go back to work when I can but will drop my hours to 20 because I just struggle with my health. I have quite a few medical problems now. Also claim pip standard on both. Will they finish my universal credit if I drop my hours, and why do they want to send me forms for LWCA I just don’t understand benefits sorry.
Any help would be appreciated I am new to this group. Hoping I have wrote this properly

No, your UC will not end if you drop your hours. You must continue to provide fit notes for UC until a decision is made on your work capability assessment. Gaps in fit notes will affect when the extra money is paid from if found to have LCWRA.

The reason you're being referred for a work capability assessment is because you reported your health condition, supported by a fit note. When you do this they refer you usually around 29 days later.

There's more information here.
