    A work capability assessment is for UC.
    A PIP assessment is different.
    Claiming PIP and a LCWRA for UC are different claims.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    @12091978 I would submit a pip form worth trying for even if you don’t get it! You can get both together! I’ve just been awarded lcwra and was awarded pip last July. Lcwra is different from pip though as it is about your capability to work or look for work or anything work related and pip is about how your health condition affects your everyday life.
