Hi.
In January 2020 I qualified for LCW.
This award was for 27 months.
I have received a payment for £161 for not reason showing up as DWP RFD.
I now have a note on my journal asking me to provide a health note.
When iv counted the months iv had all ready been paid it only equals to 20 months.
Have I been kicked off early.
I don't understand.
Any one who can help me find out.

As you've already been found to have LCW if this is a review started by DWP then you shouldn't need to send in more fit notes. If you've reported a change in health condition then yes you would need a fit note.If it's LCW you have there's no extra money for this, there's only extra money if you're found to have LCWRA.The timescale they give you for a review is nothing more than a guide and you can be reassessed anytime from 3 months.Can't tell you what the payment of £161 is for, i'd advise you to put a note onto your journal to ask.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.

There is also a general relaxation on providing Fit Notes until 26th January in order to ease workload for GPs

Hi it is LCWRA I am on.

As advised in my earlier message there is also currently a general relaxation of the requirement to provide Fit Notes. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-fit-note-a-guide-for-patients-and-employeesInformation I post is for England unless otherwise stated.

Hi, yeah iv checked said from January 2020 for 27 months.
Am stressing out as its Bank Holiday and carnt do nothing today and has me worried. -
Your LCWRA in an ongoing award untill a new decision says others, it doesn't just stop. The 27 month timescale is nothing more than a guide. The £161 is not half of your LCWRA element, so you will need to leave a message on your journal to ask what it's for.
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. -
I know it’s a worrying time, but it’s out of your control until tomorrow, try and keep busy today to avoid worrying as much.

The LCWRA element doesn't just stop unless you've either been found fit for work or a you've been placed into the LCW group, which seems very unlikely here.Once you're referred for another work capability assessment you'll receive a letter onto your journal, which can be at anytime.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please.
