Universal credit work Capability Assessment results

[crystal678]

Hi I went for my work Capability Assessment on 5/10/18 and today I got told that I am unfit to work due to Fibromyalgia. They have put me into higher group which means that I will get £328 per month extra and do not need to look for work. It only took 2 weeks for the results to get back. I was really worried when I first went to Assessment but Nurse who saw was very understanding. They told me first that I would get it back dated from April but now they said they would only back date it from August. But so far they have been very understanding
