    Have you been referred for a work capability assessment for UC? You need to continue to provide fit notes until a decision is made on your work capability assessment. If found to have LCWRA gaps in your fit notes can affect when the extra money is paid from.

    Hi @rache53, welcome to the Scope online community :) I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder and arthritis. I'm glad your PIP was awarded, it can be a long process getting that done!

    As Poppy mentions, have you been referred for a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) at all? I would speak to your work coach at Universal Credit about it, as you should be having one done if not already!

    I can move this over to our Universal Credit category, please do let us know if you've been referred for a WCA, or if you manage to ask UC to start the process!
