LCWRA

klodzia0

From January 2022 to the end of May 2023 I was on sick leave and that time I got pregnant. Since June 2023 I started maternity leave from work and then I switched to maternity leave allowance but with delay and when I finished maternity leave from work I started recived ESA and when I got money from maternity allowance with back days I had to repay ESA and since June 2023 I have been on UC and since June 2024 I’m unemployed. A few days ago I found information about LCWRA and I would like to apply for it because my health still does not allow me to return to work. What process have I to do?

English is not mine main language so I’m sorry for mistakes. I hope you will understand my case 🙈 I tried to explain as much as I can.

You need to report your health condition to UC, and submit a Fit Note from your GP.

On day 29 you should be referred for a Work Capability Assessment, and be sent a UC50 form to fill in. You'll then have a medical assessment.

It's really important you keep handing in Fit Notes throughout the process, without any gaps, breaks, or needing to give one which is backdated.

To be awarded LCWRA you need to be assessed as meeting one of the following descriptors:

When you receive the form I highly recommend you get assistance to fill it in:
