    Have you been referred for the WCA yet and received the UC50 form in the post? You can be assessed until this has happened. 
    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.

    You still need to be assessed and this has nothing to do with DWP or a case manager. The Health Assessment Advisory Service are responsible for those. https://chdauk.co.uk/ if an assessment is needed (most have them) you will be contacted for an appointment, which are mostly by telephone.

    Once the assessment report is written and returned a decision maker will make the decision. Waiting times for assessments will depend on the backlogs in your area. Some wait longer than others.
