    Hi,
    Disability element? Do you mean LCWRA? If so then because you were found to have LCW then you can report a worsening of condition, if you think any of the LCWRA descriptors apply to you. You can see them here. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity
    If you do this then you will be referred again for a work capability assessment and you'll be sent more forms to fill out and return. Another assessment is most likely.

    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.

    Hello @Starchild2022  

     Wishing you a warm welcome to the community


    This is a very supportive and welcome site to be a part of so I’m sure you’ll find it to be a positive outlet, feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 A few notable pages I’d recommend visiting would be:

    • The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
    • The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
    • The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

    If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.


    I have moved your discussion over to our Universal Credit category.
