Hello
I have been turned down LCWRA this week and given LCW. The reason for applying in first place is severe depression and anxiety. I am going to appeal the decision, but I know they are going to ask me why I think I cant do work related activities, and I'm not sure how to answer this, other than just knowing that my mental health will stand in the way because I get overwhelmed by tasks due to poor concentration and the inability to focus most days, as well as the fatugie from being depressed, and then I end up feeling like a failure which nmakes me feel even worse. I just know theyll see it as I can sit at a computer so can poerhaps do courses etc, but Im just too overwhelmed by everything and my mental health is just getting worse.
Would they even accept these as reasons, or will they just tell me to man up and get on with it? Can I ask you guys what other reasons you have given for not being able to partake in work related activities due to mental health? It may help me understand why I would struggle so much, and give me better clarity in what I'm trying to explain to them,.
Thanks.
