I'm worried that if I go back to work I'll find I can't do it and I've lost my LCWRA

I wonder if anybody can help me. I've recently been awarded LCWRA after applying in December 21.

I feel that I would like to go back to work for maybe 2 days per week but am worried that if I do I find I can't do it and I've lost my LCWRA.

Has anybody been through the same or I would welcome your thoughts.

People do work when found to have either LCW or LCWRA but if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then it can go against you when you're next reassessed.

If you start working you must report a change of circumstances and tell them you're working.

I also see that your username could be your full name. It's against the rules to give personal information here on scope because it's a public forum and anyone can see what members post.

When choosing a username it's never a good idea to use your full name. I'll flag it to the moderators and they will sort that when they come online.

Welcome to the community @carolegarratt Thank you for joining! 

I hope the above replies have reassured you that you can work and claim LCWRA at the same time. If there's anything you're still unsure about, please just let us know.

I sent you an email earlier today from community@scope.org.uk about your username, so please do keep an eye out for that.
