Hey all, please help calm me down… did I do something awful that will get my benefits taken away from me?

I was employed, have been trying to push myself to continue working after being diagnosed with multiple health conditions. Had assessment with DWP they deemed me unable to work, approved for LCWRA. Handed my notice in at work on the 17th June. Waited for my last pay (today 24th June) to confirm my earnings to DWP/UC via the journal.

Journal now says I need to contact within 5 days and have a good reason why I didn’t let them know because the change happened during the last payment period. BUT I didn’t get paid until today, during the new/current period.

I’ve written a long message apologising on the journal and will TRY to call tomorrow (health permitting I can)…

I’m freaking out… I cannot afford to lose this support now that I’ve officially left my job… :(

    hi there and welcome to the forum I would recommend that you visit the coffee lounge for a general chat and the games den for some fun.


    In terms of PIP I would try and suggest that you try not to worry

    Hi @fiona_951 and welcome to the community from me too!

    I'd try not to panic too much, have they said why they want you to contact them? As unless it was a substantial amount paid in, it shouldn't affect your benefits at all, as people do work when on UC and in some cases LCWRA.
