Advice regarding LCWRA

Bapeka1

HI

I wondered if anyone can help me please.

I will try and keep it short .

Back in 2021, I lost my job as a nurse practicioner, due to severe mental health issues.

Divorce, Bereavement, losing my house, car, job, home had a great detrimental impact on me.

I started to sofa surf around friends and family houses. I then applied for Universal Credit and because of my state of mind, DWP done a work assessment on me and i was awarded LCWRA.

My condition has become worse, I am agrophobic, suffer extreme depression and anxiety, have intrusive thoughts, the list is endless.

Back in May 2025, DWP called me in for a review, I called them and told them how I cannot leave the house, how terrifying it is for me to speak to people I do not know {as I'm writing this it sounds crazy, but this is how my life is now}.

I did not turn up and obviously, they stopped my benefit. I did call them and practically begged but to no avail.

As I stated, this was back in May 2025.

I have not had any form of money since then and have been relying on my elderly Mum to feed me.

I cannot go on like this and wondered if I need to apply again, can you apply twice? Or can I apply through my last claim?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I would recommend speaking to a trained benefits advisor locally who can help advise you on the correct process.
