Good afternoon

I new to here and would like some advice.

I currently have depression & anxiety, this has caused me not to go out alone & I have to be reminded to eat as I have no appetite. I am under the community mental health team & have had a work capability assessment, part of my care plan is working towards going out alone, will this cause my Lwcra to be stopped

Any advise will be welcome

Thank you

    No that won't cause your LCWRA to stop.

    Hi @pollycat and welcome to the community. As Kimi has said, it won't affect your LCWRA. How do you feel about your care plan?

    Hi girls, I got Lwcra as I don’t go out without my husband & forget to eat due to no appetite, so that’s why I asked the question. My care plan has only been discussed with me & not written on paper yet, but it includes going out alone in small steps & getting me back into the community so far, I am worried as it’s been 18 months since this all started but I know I’ve got to do it, I really want to be well again & be my happy self

    Also do I need to tell the dwp about my care plan?

    @pollycat you don't need to tell DWP about your care plan. It'll be a tough journey but you will get there ❤️ We're always here if you want to chat or if you need a distraction there are loads of different chats going on.

    I’m a little confused still as my descriptors was that I don’t go out without pout my husband so I’m a little worried about that
