    Question answered here.https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/116827/limited-capability-to-work#latest

    Please try to keep to one thread because it's not helpful to spam the forum with the same questions. Those that advise here do so freely in their own spare time and sometimes it may not be possible to have an answer as soon as you post. I have health conditions myself and currently going through a difficult time. 
    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 had your decision quite quickly too. Some people are waiting several months and more for the assessment.

    I advised you on your other thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/116827/limited-capability-to-work#latest

    If there were no gaps in your fit notes your first payment will be 1st June.

    In your thread that I spent a lot of my time advising you on yesterday you said you had been awarded LCWRA. Thread here https://forum.scope.org.uk/discussion/117606/lcwra-need-help#latest 

    If no decision has been made then I don't understand why you said it had. This means that all the advice I gave is irrelevant until a decision has been made. 

    This is what you said in your first comment on that thread.

    Hi im new to this and just had health assesment and awarded lcwra ... do you get the 3 months waiting backdated ... im trying to understand it but its not clear

    Nothing is ever final until the decision is made. If the assessor said something to you that made you think you would be found to have LCWRA then they shouldn't have said anything to you because it's not their job to do that. 

    Once a decision is made the letter will be uploaded onto your journal.

    I do have health conditions myself and the time I spend here is freely in my own spare time and it's not always easy for me do that.

    You didn't upset me, I just didn't understand why you said you had the decision when you didn't.
