Hi all, would appreciate some advice please. I was awarded pip a few weeks ago due to my health conditions, and have now recieved a text message stating the following
Remember your Work Capability Assessment is taking place by phone on 22/02/2024. Please be available between 13:00 PM and 16:00 PM for this call. Failure to attend may affect your benefit. Please check your appointment letter for full details of your assessment.
I havnt recieved any letter for an appointment. I started my universal credit claim in November as was previously in the LCWRA group but I started a new claim when I moved address and lost my element for this (silly I know, I didn't realise I could have just done a change in circumstances) but this brings me on to a few questions, the last time I had a Work Capabilty Assessment I was asked to fill out a UC50 FORM with my health situation and provide medical evidence. I havnt been asked to do so, neither have they sent me an appointment letter. All i have recieved is this sms. Just tried to call them but phone-line is closed on the weekend.
Am I able to request the assessment to be recorded? Is it normal that I havnt been asked to fill out a form? How will they know about my health conditions without one? Will they use the form from my previous claim?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Hi @ronaldo89, sorry you haven't had any replies on this so far. Have you managed to contact anyone about this today to get things cleared up?0

As you’ve already been found to have LCWRA then you shouldn’t have to go through another WCA.I’m surprised the system actually let you make another claim when you already had a claim open. When you started a new claim did you keep the same assessment periods? I would have expected you to keep the same ones and the same payment dates.0
