hi all,

im a bit lost at the minute. I am starting to do some exposure therapy for ocd, emetophobia and agoraphobia. When I start going further, say into the next town and being able to stay there for a couple hours, would UC class that as me having ‘healed’ from my conditions? I don’t feel like I could work in a public setting until further down the line, because being in an indoor space for too long really sets my anxiety off, however being outside I feel like I can escape so its not as nerve wracking.

I don’t want to make so much progress with my agoraphobia, then for it to go to waste because I am being forced into a work setting I don’t feel comfortable or ready for yet.

could anyone please help?

Thank you!

Hi,

Forget about UC, don't let the DWP impact your progress and recovery.

But to answer your question…if you're only out for a couple of hours a week that's not proving any sort of reliable access to a work environment. There isn't any LCWRA descriptor about traveling, so you must have been awarded LCWRA based on another aspect of your working limitations instead.
