Hi can someone please help with an enquiry I have.
I left my job in teaching due to a back problem from a while back that has got worse.
I have been claiming Universal Credit and I come under the LCW.
I receive PIP for the daily living rate and for the daily mobility.
I recently spoke to turn2us who were very supportive and advised me that with my condition and mental health due to years of reasons which I wont go into that I should be claiming LCWRA. Due to my mental health I truly can not do this on my own and I am thinking of approaching my local CAB to be advocate. I am very anxious of the process as I have to go into my past history. Is there any advice given and how long does it take.

Hi and welcome to the community
You say you are lcw already so presume you have already had a assessment if your condition has worsened then you need to report a change in circumstances
I would suggest getting expert advice before doing anything maybe contact welfare rights for support
The process will be the same as before filling in the uc50 form and having a assessment the timescales are quite long currently due to backlogs and can take months
