LCWRA and going back to Uni

Hi there!

I apologise in advance if this is a silly question. I currently get LCWRA but have accepted an offer to study nursing in September 2023. How can I close my claim when I start my course?
Also, potentially a very silly question, but do my medical records reference my LCWRA at all? I have to pass an occupational health assessment and have disclosed my mental health issues but I’m scared that they’ll see that I was awarded LCWRA and remove my place!

    You just need to "report a change of circumstances" then tell them you're starting Uni (if it's full time) No, your medical records won't state you were found to have LCWRA.
    Are you currently claiming a disability benefit such as PIP or DLA?
