Planning on temporarily moving out and living alone, will this impact my LCWRA claim?

Hi there, I’m currently worried what will happen to my LCRWA (I have ASD, OCD, ADHD) as I’m currently living with my mum and during the WCA assessment last year it was said that I needed prompting to eat and drink which is true and I need the support of my mum which again is true but I’m planning on temporarily moving out and living alone, will this affect my claim? Will they be able to argue if they do a reassessment that I am capable as I’m now living alone and more “independent” even though I will still require my mum calling me throughout the day to remind me and check that I have done things… It’s stressing me! Thank you :)

    Living alone doesn't mean you won't continue to need to the same amount of support. Lots of people live alone and receive the LCWRA element.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
