The good news is that about 67% of claimants are found to have LCWRA or placed into the Support Group (ESA)

One of the most common questions on the UC section here is "i've been awarded LCWRA when can i expect to receive payment."

Make sure you answers the questions with as much detail as possible. Avoid answers with just a yes or no. By doing this the assessor can come to their own conclusions. The assessment can last anything from 20 to 120 minutes sometimes longer.
