I am on LCWRA recently but want to get back to work. I’m not sure if I can though so have got myself a two month role to see how I get along. I’m off with anxiety and depression. Will it affect my LCWRA if I find it’s too much and can’t cope. I want to move forward but also mindful of I get worse whilst in work. I’m not sure what to do.

    I gave you advice on this back at the end of January, please see my advice in your other thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/114329/on-lcwra-can-i-go-back-to-work-full-time#latest the advice remains the same as what I gave in that thread. 

    It’s entirely up to you what you decide to do. Many people work while claiming LCWRA.

    Hello @BillyGoatGruff

    I claim LCWRA and work. Can I ask, are you in England or Wales? Have you thought about reaching out to Scope's Employment Services for support? :) They can help from CV writing, to interview skills and even support you in the first few weeks of a new job.

    Hi Hannah

    in England and no I hadn’t. I am ok with my C.V as only had it done last year as only been out of work since September. Thank you for the suggestion though.
