Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between LCW and LCWRA?

LCW means your ability to work is limited but you must prepare for work. LCWRA means you have limited capability for work-related activity and receive extra money with no work requirements.

What if the DWP says I am fit to work?

We can request a Mandatory Reconsideration to challenge the decision with additional medical proofs.
