Do you have to attend work search reviews if you receive LCWRA?

Hi can I just double check with you guys that if you are in receipt of LCWRA does that mean you don't need to attend work search reviews. I have just been sent an appointment for Monday 20TH September at a jobcentre in town .This is for a work search review. I'm concerned as it states this is a mandatory appointment . Thanks

Hi there 

There should be no work commitments if you are classed as lcwra 

I would give them a call to see why you have been sent the appointment

Thanks  for your quick response, I just rang he thinks it's a mistake as they can see I'm in receipt of LCWRA, I also put it on my journal but I'm no holding out hope on a response as I'm still waiting on a response from a journal message on 24TH Aug

It's definitely a mistake because of your LCWRA award.

When you put in a journal entry select the payment or service issue option as these then get seen by case managers rather than the general enquiries

@janer1967 thanks again for your advice, they have sent me a journal message cancelling Monday's appointment.
