Worried that I may have triggered a WCA

I had a bank review phone call today. And because I said that I sometimes get a payment from Google (it's not that much, only about £60 to £90 every 3 months) because of my Youtube channel the woman on the phone said I have to declare the payments. She said to do this I need to report a change on my UC account.

So I went into report a change, it asked me about my employment status and whether I expected to be employed next month, etc. I answered everything honestly, which was basically I'm not employed and do not expect to end up employed, and the change happened on the 25th of last month (when I got paid). And that was it, no box for me to type in my earnings. So only have I not been able to declare that I earned something last month, I'm now worried that what I've done may have triggered a WCA. If I get classed as being fit for work or put into LCW it will kill me. I've explained what has happened in my journal, hopefully the woman who was on the phone can sort this out.

    It wouldn't trigger a medical WCA assessment.

    The woman phoned me back and told me there's honestly nothing for me to worry about and that it wont trigger a WCA, and she said something like she's wrote down how I was just following her directions to try and declare some money that I earned.

    Thank God for that.
