Hi, after some advice about lwclwca

majgill08

Hi, I'm sorry I don't even know if they are the right letters!. Over the last 12 months my health has deteriorated rapidly. I am now in receipt of PIP and rarely leave the house. I am on UC but I am a carer for my son and also recieve carers allowance AND element. I have declared all my health conditions to UC although I have never handed in a fit note and have not asked to be on any LWC due to the carer status. However, as time is passing I am deteriorating even more and I am getting to the point where I don't know whether to ask about being put into lclwa. Would I have to start from scratch by putting fit notes in now? How does it work? I can't believe I am concedering this but I am getting to the point where I am struggling to care for my son at all.

Thanks

Hi @majgill08, welcome to the community. I can see one of our members has already started answering your questions over on your other discussion:

But I just wanted to say hello and welcome you 😊

I'm really sorry your conditions are deteriorating so fast, that can't be easy especially when you're also caring for your son. I hope you manage to get your UC sorted if that's what you decide to do and that things start feeling easier soon 💜
