There's a guide here for help filling it in. Although it says ESA, the UC50 form is exactly that same. You should also Include a couple of real world incidents of exactly what happened the last time you attempted each activity that applies to you.

Adding detailed information such as where you were, what exacetly happened, did anyone see it and what the consequences were. You should aim for at least half an A4 side of paper per descriptor that applies.

You can see the descriptors here for LCWRA https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity You need to meet just one of those.

LCW descriptors here, you need to score at least 15 points for this but if found to have LCW you will not receive any extra money each month. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work

@nessa28 hi. How long ago was your last assessment. I'm asking as am trying to figure out how much of backlog they have an if they are dealing with it quickly?

@robertt the OP is talking about a new claim. Re-assessments are currently suspended so it’ll most probably be a long while until they contact you.

Welcome to the community @nessa28 How are you doing today? 

Completing the form can definitely be a bit overwhelming. I hope that the above comments have helped you to understand it a little better. If there's anything you're unsure about, please just let us know.

Are you receiving enough support to help you manage your ADHD and depression at the moment?
