    The changes in Scotland affect PIP, not LCWRA.

    There are no timescales for LCWRA reviews.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Rules may be different in other parts of UK.

    Reviews for the work capability assessment are currently still suspended and have been since the start of the pandemic. LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

    As you're claiming UC then when it's time for your review you will receive a letter on your journal telling you that they are referring you. A few days after that you will receive the form in the post.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Most assessments are by telephone. If this is regarding the work capability assessment review then they are still suspended so you won't be having a review anytime soon.

    That makes no difference for the work capability assessment because they are suspended.

    No idea sorry. You already have LCWRA which is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. 
    When they do start back there will be huge backlogs so it’s unlikely you’ll be reviewed anytime soon. 
    When they do refer you eventually you’ll receive a letter on your journal and shortly after that you’ll receive another form in the post. 
    Until then you need to try to focus on something else.
