I have finally got a telephone assessment for LCWRA. After waiting for nearly 2 years. Due to form being lost. I have sent in doctors notes for the whole time. I’m am getting anxious and worried about what to expect from the LCWRA assessment. I have had the PIP assessment and that was mentally draining

It's a work capability assessment, not a LCWRA assessment. It's similar to the PIP assessment but for this they are assessing your ability to do any type of work.

For my WCA they've usually wanted to know what a typical day is like for me, my daughters was exactly the same when I did hers on her behalf.

During the assessment try not to answer any questions with just a yes or no and try to give as much relevant information as possible. If you answer just yes or no they could come to their own conclusions. The assessment can last anything from 20 to 120 minutes, sometimes longer.

If they think you may qualify got LCWRA they have been known to concentrate on that one condition they think may qualify you so they may not talk about all of your conditions.
