The Enhanced Review team is not related to the work capability assessment. They are checking that your UC claim is correct and you're claiming what you should be. They may ask you to send bank statements. They may also ask you other questions related to your claim too.

If they have arranged to contact you through a phone call, you must make sure you answer the phone because otherwise your UC could be suspended.

Unfortunately, LCWRA doesn't exclude you from those reviews.

Hi @tinao, welcome to the community. Sorry to hear you're feeling worried about your review. As Poppy says, these reviews can happen to anyone claiming Universal Credit so people on LCWRA aren't exempt from them, but it doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. Quite a few of our members have been through these recently, so if you have any questions about the process I'm sure you'll get some support.

I'll pop your post over to our Universal Credit section in case you have any more questions 😊

I've wondered about this. I get lcwra and it's crossed my mind as to if I'll need a review. I know my arthritis is getting worse plus the wetting myself( apologies to anyone eating their lunch) isn't showing any sign of improving. As well as the stuff that isn't so obvious. Nothing will change in my world. Not for the better certainly.

This thread is related to the Enhanced review, to check your claim is correct. They will likely ask for bank statements and most likely ask you questions about your circumstances. It's not about the work capability assessment. The majority of people have reviews for the work capability assessment at some point. Reviews are no different to the first assessment you had.

Many thanks Poppy. The dwp wanted bank statements so posted them in. And then they wanted photo ID. Did I have a game with that! I don't drive and I've never had a passport. I can't get to the local job centre as I can't get out the house. As pure luck had it I found a provisional driving licence, I'd forgotten all about. My son wanted me to learn so I could visit when he left home a good 15 years ago but I never did.

And then the fun really started! I'd to upload( possibly download??) all this stuff. I'm not computer literate. And the more I tried the less I understood. Eventually a nice lady from the dwp came to see me and she sorted it all.

Loses a lot in the telling but it was a right palaver at the time
