Waiting Forever.....

Hellomum

I'm just here to blow off steam really.

My wife had a work capability assessment on New Years Eve and the advisor ending the assessment early saying they had all they wanted. We were told this would be with the DWP on 2nd January and we would hear shortly. It has now been nearly five weeks since then with no update, I'm not going to post on our Journal as there's no point. I'm just frustrated that it's taking so long, especially considering that some people get an answer within days. Can I ask, how long others have waited if they have had their assessment in late 2024?

Timescales are anything up to 12 weeks.

There are many variables as to why some people get a quick decision and why others wait longer.

I hope the decision comes through soon 🙂

Hang in there the wait is horrible. I'm sure that decision is on the way!

Can any one tell me if the LCWRA decision letter is uploaded to your journal only during office hours or could it appear on evenings or weekends?

The work capability assessment decision letter can be uploaded anytime up to about 6pm Mon to Saturday. Some decision makers work Saturday.
