Support group on uc

Hi Francesca,
There is no need to inform the local council. They should know already under the partnership system where DWP share information with local councils. I always think it is a good idea to just phone up the council, so they will have an official record- sometimes useful as there may be support you can access.
As you are in LCWRA group do you get PIP? (I am assuming that you have significant disability. ) PIP will not affect the amount of UC as PIP is not means tested. PIP is based on points similar to the WCA assessment you will have had for UC. If you would like to know more, have a look at the guides -here

I hope this helps.

Hi Francesca

Indiana Jones would be a good call as he never gives up ...

You could ask your MP for help, remember you cannot get a copy of the assessors report (UC 85) until a decision has been made.
