WCA Work Contradictions

I am baffled by this and I don't anyone will really know the answer.
However working when you LCWRA and reassessment should be fine it the work doesn't contradict the reason you get LCWRA.
I get that if you have told them you can't walk 2 meters and then your suddenly in Asda as a click and collect employee walking around their store to get peoples shopping. This is plainly a contradiction.
With myself though I am LCWRA and substantial risk (to me and my children). I am making and selling a few craft items. There is not much time going into it and I basically just get the money back the materials have cost me, so I can carry on the hobby. Can this be classed as a contradiction and if so how. I can't afford to take the gamble it will go against me.
I am saddened by this it's is nice to make these things and a purchaser has hopefully enjoyed the product. If I even attempted to make it profitable I could not replace the LCWRA extra amount I would get without it making me ill (that is factual I know my limits with this illness)

You probably do this work from home so it's unlikely to contradict the reasons why you were found to have LCWRA but ultimately it will depend on which descriptor applied when you were found to have LCWRA.

Yes it is from home. My report states substantial risk to me or anyone else due to a debilitating psychiatric condition. I am LCWRA. I am just baffled as to what contradicts a substantial risk.
I post out about 2 items a day not a problem. I just wonder if there is a line of "well you can sit at home and do that, so you can sit at home and do some work related activity .. hence a swop from LCWRA to LCW. It is constantly playing on my mind. I don't even enjoy making the craft items anymore.0 -
I'd would say if you were out selling your craft items in a market, that would be a contradiction as you'd be around people. But sitting at home making them shouldn't be. Personal opinion of course.
I'm sure we'd all love to see some of your items. You can post pics in this thread. (though no links to selling sites please.0 -
I have always presumed a substantial risk in my case means first me because work will and has caused numerous break downs over the years. Also a risk to my daughter because I can't look after her if I am ill. I will post some pics. I don't think I am a threat to the general public. My family are like what is the problem it is therapeutic and I am just paranoid.0

It means that there would be a substantial risk to yourself and other people if found capable of work related activity.I can't see working from home contradicting that reason.1

No, not in that way. Risk to others, such as members of the public.
