Hi,As you're claiming UC if you're working and earning more than 16 hours x national minimum wage then you can't claim limited capability for work unless you have a PIP award.If you're working less than 16 hours per week then you can send in fit notes from your GP to start the limited capability for work process off.If the Tribunal goes in your favour and you're awarded then you'll be able to send it fit notes from your GP to start of the limited capability for work process and you'll be referred for a work capability assessment. Do be aware though that when you do this, if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you're claiming limited capability for work then the decision could go against you.Hope this helps.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

That doesn't make sense. If you have a current PIP award then payments should continue to be received while waiting for a Tribunal. Or do you mean you had a review and were refused but you had an award before the review took place?

I've just looked back at your previous threads and i see that you don't currently have a PIP award in place because you didn't score any points. The MR decision remained the same, which means still no award. I'm confused why you say you have a standard PIP award..Regarding the UC, if you reduced your hours to less than 16 then you can send in a fit note to start the work capability assessment process off. Unfortunately, if you are awarded PIP by the Tribunal then i'm afraid you won't be backdated any UC because claiming PIP doesn't automatically entitle you to limited capability for work.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
