When claiming UC you're classed as a job seeker until a decision is made on your work capability assessment. It's the work coaches discretion whether they turn off or reduce your commiments.

Once the assessment report is returned to DWP a decision can take up to 12 weeks. If found to have LCWRA then you will receive extra money from the 4th month after you reported your health condition.

Once a decision is made, if you have access to a journal the letter will be uploaded onto there.

Hello @jb86 and a warm welcome to the community.

You mentioned that your UC used to be topped up with sick money, do you mean that you used to have LCW/LCWRA in your UC and then were changed to look for work? How long ago was the decision made by UC to make you look for work again?
