Lwcra

hi there
I have migrated to uc from income support and carers allowance , I also got severe disability premium
When I went over I had to get help doing the online and the advisor put down my illness.
They asked for a sick note which I got, then recieved a uc50 form
Which I never returned as when I phoned the uc helpline was told I could only get one , carers premium or lwcra, I was also told I'd lose my migration protection because there's a change. They told me I don't have to claim the lwcra so I told them I'm a carer so why send me the uc50 form. She said I can cancel the lwcra so o said okay and she said she would make a note, I also put it in my journal June 12.
I did not return a uc50 form as I just could not take the stress and thought of losing money and proving once again.
However despite all this I recieved a letter for a health assessment video in afew weeks time. I have a hospital appointment that day which I cannot cancel as I don't know when they will give me the next one.
Can someone advise as to if it will mess up my protection money and will I get less?
What will happen if I don't do the interview as either way I'm a carer first for son who has many health and gable delay and autism , epilepsy ect
I would appreciate any advice
Kind regards
Jen
