LCW , 10 day trip
Hi Scopers!
I was awarded LCW last July due to anxiety/autism. Since then I have decided to focus on developing my self employment (as an artist) and at every appointment have kept DWP informed of this.
I am due to go to Italy for 10 days in July, generously paid for in part by my parents (I am also hoping to contribute a bit myself as my business is growing). I will inform DWP of this but I just wanted to clarify (due to confusion) whether or not this would be ok on LCW as I've seen conflicting info about whether I would need to give DWP evidence or not and how my payments would be affected?
Hope this makes sense, hope everyone has a nice day

Hello @worryworm95. Are you definitely in the LCW group and not LCWRA?

Okay, so you may have some work-related requirements on your claim and will be expected to still be available to complete these even while away. If you look under your claimant commitments it should show you what is expected of you and whether you could be called to a meeting or appointment.
It should not impact your LCW or UC payments but it is always advisable to inform them when you are leaving the country.
