Hi I am new here and I am worried a bit
I have LCWRA, housing, UC, and higher rate of PIP without motability.
I have a wifa and a baby and my wife caring about me.
The thing is can I work at all?
I have several mental problems and personality disorders but as long as I am nor with a lot of people it's fine. I thought about taking uber eats or similar delivery job, that will help me with movement and maybe with my weight but I am worried that I will loos everything.
And what if working hours are 16 per week but payment is more than 20 pounds per hour.
Thanks
I am sorry for my English. -
@Piter hi,You can work and claim LCWRA but if the work you do contradicts the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA then you could be reassessed early and the decision could go against you. If you start working then you must report the changes onto your journal.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.

always can finish even after one drop and back any time no pressure and any stress regarding normal work that I am unable to cope with. So this will be basically a big challange but I want to belive I will be able to do this job, feels usless by sitting home for last 2 years, and can't even get private treatment with spine because this treatments are horrible with the price. -

Sorry for my English as it is not my first language.

We can’t advise you whether you should accept the job or whether this work would contradict the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA. This is because we don’t know exactly how your conditions affect you or the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA.If you do start work you need to report the changes onto your journal.
You will also need to report the changes to your local authority and your council tax reduction will be recalculated.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 don't have council tax reduction, my PIP and LCWRA in my local council means that we are not eligible already to council tax support.

PIP isn't means tested so this shouldn't be taken into consideration when calculating your CTR. Having said that, they shouldn't be taking into consideration the LCWRA element of your UC either.

Unfortunately rules now has changed. Every council can make their own scheme. And this one tak into account everything apart from PIP.
My wife has a carer element in UC, I have LCWRA plus housing element and one child plus usual allowance from UC. Everything gave over 320 per week and this is amount that does not qualify for reduction. They even say that they are not accepted disability to reduce from B to A Band.
