in Universal Credit (UC)

Hello! I finally had my WCA on the 23rd June. I am still handing in 3 monthly fit notes. I had my video call today with my work coach and she's been great, only calling every 4-6 weeks. She said today she is going back to every two weeks even though I will still send in fit notes as I await WCA outcome. Says she wants to go through my commitments. I hoped to be done with that at least while awaiting outcome.

Is it possible she knows of the decision and going back to two weekly calls and possibly job searches? I haven't heard anything as yet

Regards

    Work coaches do have some discretion, but until you have a LCWRA decision then you are treated as a job seeker essentially.

    The DWP process overrides Fit Notes etc.

    Hopefully you aren't waiting too much longer to hear.

    @Kimi87 Thanks for your response. I just thought it a bit odd as she's been great since January but now that I'm awaiting decision of WCA she's gone back to every two weeks. What do I do in regards to commitments? My health is deteriorating, all issues are in health section and I keep fit notes up to date but I'll need to accept new commitments. I know despite the decision outcome I won't be able to work but I have to accept commitments while on UC. Hopefully I'll hear soon.
