    People do work and claim LCWRA. If you start working you must report the changes onto your journal. Any earnings will reduce your UC by 55% as explain in your other thread.
    Do be aware that if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming LCWRA then it can go against you once a new decision is made on a work capability assessment.
    As self employed you will need to report your earnings and expenses on the last day of your assessment period.
