Hi. I just received decision after my WCA. They decided, that I have limited capability for work and may get extra money because of that. The question is how much?

nothing, unfortunately as with many you will be in a weird limbo place unless you get LCWRA0

If you disagree with that decision and think you qualify for LCWRA the you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) stating why you think you should have been found to have LCWRA. See descriptors here for this.

Hi and welcome to the community
You only get additional payment if you are awarded lcwra there is no payment if lcw however you won't be required to look for work just prepare for work0 -
Can somebody explain to me please (sorry to jump on) how the descriptors work?So, I easily score 39 points and that is on my best day. That would secure me LCW but, does that mean I would get LCWRA? I don’t understand… I see people saying to get LCWRA you need at least one of the descriptors but is that, not the same as point scoring?Sorry if I’m just being thick.0

There are two different sets of descriptors.
In order to get LCWRA you need to satisfy any one of the LCWRA descriptors.
If you don't satisfy LCWRA then to get LCW you need to score at least 15 points from the LCW descriptors.0 -
Are they not the same? … am I right in thinking, for LCW you have to score 15 points all together…. And for LCWRA you have to score 15 on At least one of the descriptors?0

I don’t understand what you mean by “satisfy”. I’m sorry.So for the Lcwra you need to answer yes - (the majority of the time) on at least one of the descriptors to qualify? Am I correct.0

Am I correct.Editing this because my reply wasn't exactly correct.No, you don't need to answer yes. If you answered yes then this would mean you can complete that acitivty the majority of the time. You need to be unable to complete the activity the majority of the time.Please read the link to the descriptors again. There's also substantial risk, which is explained here. https://wcainfo.net/issues/substantial-risk-lcwra

I feel like "yes" would be the answer as the descriptors linked say "you cannot..." so saying yes means you can't and no would mean you can.
@jamrumples one of the lcwra descriptors needs to reflect how you are and what your restrictions are. So like if you "cannot raise either arm as if to put something in the top pocket of a coat or jacket." then descriptor 3 would apply to you1 -
Thankyou for your replies, I fully understand now. Massive helps.0

You need to explain in detail exactly why you can’t compete that activity and exactly what happened the last time you attempted it, with at least 2 real world incidents.Include information such as where you were, what exactly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were.0 -
I think we're saying the same thing but using different words.
