So I'm on LCW, although I don't think there's any way to check that in my account other than the letter I got from the assessor last year to confirm it. A big part of my lc is my anxiety, I'm considering trying to get a Christmas temp job to make ends meet. I'm wondering if I have to leave this temp job before the end of the contract can my UC / LCW be affected or sanctioned?

If you start working you must report a change of circumstances and tell them your working. If you're unable to continue and leave it will not affect your UC because you already have LCW.

The work allowance will apply to you because you have LCW. If you claim for help with any rent it will be £379/month, if you don't it will be £631/month. It's not money that will be included in your UC payments. It means that you can receive that amount of earnings each month before the 55% deductions apply. For every £1 over those amounts your UC will be reduced by 55p. More details here. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/universal-credit-and-earningsJust for future reference. Work capability assessment decision letters never give any information other than what the decision was. I would never advise anyone to ring the helpline for any such advice because they are not benefits advisors. They are call centre staff with very little benefits knowledge.
