90-minute webinar, available in-house.

Overview

It is often possible for the Work Capability Assessment to be carried out in Universal Credit when a claimant is working. 

This webinar looks at the process and implications for achieving Limited Capability for Work (LCW) / Limited Capability for Work Related Activity (LCWRA) status for claimants who are in work. 

Questions/topics covered

  • How and when is it possible to have the Work Capability Assessment process started for people who are in work?
  • How can I ensure income is maximised via the UC work allowance as well as via the LCWRA element for people who are in work? 
  • When is a disability benefit needed and what happens if it is awarded retrospectively?
  • How is it different for the ‘treated as’ rules (e.g. cancer treatments)?
  • The 16-hour x National Minimum Wage rule – how can I make sure earnings are assessed correctly?
