UC LCW Problem Areas

 

WHO IS THIS FOR?

An ideal course for those providing advice or casework to Universal Credit claimants with disabilities/health conditions

 

AIMS:

UC claimants with a Limited Capability for Work are experiencing a variety of problems. Many are missing out on the benefit / back pay they are entitled to, others are not having their health conditions appropriately taken into account. This training aims to outline how the system should work and the key problems that are arising. It will examine how you can get the best result for your client, giving hints and tips for challenging UC decisions.


 

OBJECTIVES:

  • Gain an understanding of which UC claimants can request a WCA but are being refused
  • Gain a deeper understanding of the relevant period and when it should start 
  • Gain the knowledge to spot missing back payments and challenge effectively
  • Gain an understanding of the rules around workers with an LCW
