    No. ADP won't be affected at all. LCWRA would only be affected if the job you do contradicts the reason for being awarded LCWRA.

    Hi @HunnyBunny and a warm welcome to the community from me!

    Volunteering won't have any effect on ADP but if your reasons for being awarded LCWRA and the volunteering work you do contradict each other then that could potentially cause a re-assessment.

    For example, if you received LCWRA because you are agoraphobic but the volunteer position doesn't require you to go outside then they do not contradict

    I've been on benefits since I was 17 and have been doing voluntary work since I was 19, and the DWP's never batted an eyelash.
