If you are expecting chemotherapy then the UC50 health form should be issued immediately and when you complete the form, if cancer is your only health condition, you can skip most of the questions but need to get the Cancer Treatment page completed by a clinician. You should then be treated as having LCWRA without further assessment but you will still only be paid the LCWRA element from the fourth complete assessment period after you report the health condition.
Note that when the LCWRA element goes into payment you will no longer be paid the carer element.0 -
Welcome to the community @Pearl04
Have you had a chance to take a look at calcotti's reply?
I'm sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. How have you been coping?0
