    If the decision is limited capability for work and you disagree with the decision and think you qualify for LCWRA then you can request the Mandatory Reconsideration.

    LCWRA means you'll get extra money from the 4th month of your claim starting from when you first reported your health condition. It also means you wouldn't have to attend any further appointments or look for any work.
    If your decision was Limited capability for work (LCW) there's no extra money. You won't be expected to look for work but you maybe expected to attend work focused interviews to prepare to work sometime in the future.
