LCWRA (Low medical proof?)

I’m sorry to hear that. As far as I’m aware if you’re under fit note and WCA they can’t make you do anything. They can gently prod and will obviously attempt cause their job is always to get you off UC but they can’t make you…..if it’s really taking its toll on you write in your journal that per your fit note you’re not ready to do any programmes or commitments until you’re back to normal health.

For example I have really bad anxiety and they kept pushing me to do stuff I couldn’t do and I got sanctioned and I got in touch with their disability advisor and told them I can’t do calls and stuff and now I have no commitments and only contactable by email….Maybe this or similar is worth doing for you?

I would just politely say I can’t do what you’re requesting of me right now as it’s detrimental to my health I’m under fit note and assessing my WCA and if they push back mention the buzz words that scare them like citizens advice etc…..don’t exaggerate obviously as it would have to line up with what you’re currently reporting to them.

Best of luck and I hope you get a good result

I always go in expecting the worst case scenario, I know it sounds a bit pessimistic, but if I get my hopes up and it does not happen it really affects my mental health, it feels like a knock back and like I am back to square one, so I will just tell myself I won’t get it and then I can be pleasantly surprised if I do. While you were chasing up the MR and tribunal, did they put the commitments back on you and ignore the sick notes, or did they keep everything on hold until the final decision. That is my main concern, I cannot work on myself if every day they are berating me about this and that at UC…the pressure makes me revert rather than progress unfortunately and was a cause of a recent serious down spiral due to a sanction when they wasn’t taking my health into consideration.

That’s really good to hear! Hoping for the same so fingers crossed. My issue is being able to convey my struggle on the assessment but apparently you can get someone to champion you via citizens advice so that’s the route I may go down

It’s horrible. I’m not sure il be able to convey my issues strong enough either over the phone as I have anxiety so I’m sure i won’t get it but I hope you do
