HI , I am currently LWRAC and i am thinking about the possibility of doing a part time job for 20 hours a week if they will have me. What happens to the LWRAC?
If I cant manage to do the job I don't want to lose my benefits because I will lose my home and be back at stage 1. Can anyone advise what the rules are please

LCWRA stays on your existing claim until you have a new Work Capability Assessment and there is a different outcome decision.
You can try working and if you have to stop there is no consequence affecting your claim as having LCWRA means you have no work related requirements.The comments I post are personal opinion. Always refer to official information sources before relying on internet forums. If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.2 -

Due to the LCWRA element you'll have a work allowance on your claim.
This is the amount of money you can earn before UC make their standard deduction of 0.55p for every pound earned.
If you receive Housing Element it is £411.
If you don't it is £684.
