Reviews are suspended for most people. They will likely start back fully by the end of the year. 

LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

When it’s time for your review if you have access to a journal you will receive a letter to say they are referring you. A few days later you will receive the UC50 form in the post. It’s the same form as you last filled in.

Hi @marymcdoll, welcome to the community  

As poppy said reviews are likely to start towards the end of this year and start of next year. You will receive communication about the review ahead of time and then you will get the form.

Yes got notified  through  my journal  didn't  think I'd be going  through  it again so soon  only  started  receiving lcwra in December  because  of the 3 month wait is it the full form that you have to fill out again

Are you 100% sure it says they are referring you for another work capability assessment? The letter will be exactly the same as the first letter you received and it will tell you they are referring you.

Or is it a review of your UC entitlement to check that your benefits entitlement is correct? These are 2 completely different things.

Hi @marymcdoll as @poppy123456 says, are you sure it's a WCA review they're asking you to complete? My daughter works for the DWP and has said that reviews for LCWRA are way behind schedule still, due to the backlog from Covid. I myself was due a review in December last year and I'm still waiting, which kind of proves the point. As the both the LCWR and WC are both being phased out, I am reliably informed that most reviews will not happen for some considerable time and quite a long time at that.

Apologies to Poppy, I'm new here and didn't see until after I'd tagged you that you have your notifications turned off. Apologies also to @marymcdoll, as I seem to have missed some letters off some of my words! 🤦

No worries, at all.

At the moment all we have is "speculation" nothing is set in stone until the regulations are put into place.

@Whiskey26 thank you for your reply  maybe  its because  I live in Northern Ireland  yes it's definitely  a review  still waiting  on form to come in post I'm just going  to be in panic mode till its sorted  either way 

poppy123456

I'm quite surprised with that because you've only recently had your last WCA. Though they can review you at anytime they are suspended for the majority of people. It will be the usual UC50 form.

@poppy123456 I was surprised to  but will update  when  I have  more  to tell thank again

@marymcdoll Keeping everything crossed it goes smoothly for you!

@marymcdoll . Try not to worry too much. If your circumstances are exactly the same as they were at the time of your first assessment, you have nothing to worry about.
