Re appealing length of award

Hi on the benefits and work forum someone said that only for pip you can appeal the length of your award not for esa or wca assessments

If this is true what is the reason?

Thanks

That mostly only applies to PIP. For ESA Support Group it's an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. If they've given you a timescale because you've asked then this will just be a guide.

There's a group called severe conditions but for this there's very specific criteria and not everyone qualifies. If placed into this group there will be no further reviews.

What is the “ lcwra medium term award” the OP mentioned? I thought LCWRA is an ingoing award?

LCWRA is an ongoing award.
Medium term refers to the guideline length of time before re assessment.

This is only ever a guide and not necessarily the date a claim will be re assessed, re assessments have been suspended for a number of years now so when they start up again there will be backlogs.
