LCWRA - Is it likely i'll get it for Extreme Anxiety & Agoraphobia
Hello, just to give some background
I a few weeks back was diagnosed with Extreme Anxiety and Agoraphobia, i was on the call with the CMHT for over an hour as i explained my issues and listened to her tell me what she would do to help
I got a fit note and uploaded it to my universal credit account - i am claiming universal credit and have been for a few months before my diagnosis, so this was accepted and they booked me in another appointment the day after my current fit note ends
Because my fit note was for longer than 4 weeks it automatically triggered the Wca50 form where they assess if i am capable for work
i was nervous as hell but finally filled it out tonight detailing my issues and i attached my home visit summary letter from the GP detailing my diagnosis and my medication, attached another 2 sheets of A4 explaining my issues and how they effect me/stop me from working in more detail than the boxes in the form would allow
I also attached a copy of my letter from the Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN) which the Community Mental Health Team (CMHT) nurse who diagnosed me referred me too, the letter states i am on the waiting list for an appointment which can take approx 20 weeks
I am just really nervous as tomorrow when i send it away i know i am going to be extremely anxious and worry endlessly until i get a result back from them
I am just wondering if it is likely given my evidence, being on medication and awaiting an appointment with the CPN that i get awarded LCWRA, has anyone else been in the same boat with regards to applying for it with Anxiety and Agoraphobia and what was the outcome, i am super worried despite my evidence and diagnosis that they will somehow say it isn't enough
Sorry for rambling i am just looking for advice
