Is there a maximum amount of hours I can work on PIP? Does PIP automatically qualify me for LCWRA?

Hi, I am really needing some help.
I was meant to be having a LCFW assessment on the 22nd Feb but they cancelled it as no Dr available. They are meant to be rearranging.
I am back at work on a phased return but I'm absolutely unable to work my full shifts
I get PIP standard living and enhanced mobility - is there a maximum amount of hours I can work? Also does having already had a PIP assessment does this automatically qualify me for LCFWWA. Sorry so many questions

There's no maximum amount of hours you can work while claiming UC, if you don't have the work allowance then any earnings received during your assessment period will reduce your UC by 55%.However, if the work you do contradicts the reasons for your limited capability for work then it can go against you when the decision is made.Your PIP award doesn't automatically qualify you for LCWRA. There are some conditions in which some people will automatically qualify. See link. https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activityThe link also includes the descriptors for LCWRA.
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.
