LCWRA

Yes, LCWRA claimants are generally not being reassessed, but there are some exceptions. The government committed to stopping reassessments for people already assessed as having LCWRA, unless they self-report a change in circumstances or there's suspicion of fraud. Here's a more detailed explanation: 

• General Rule:The DWP will not reassess people who are currently assessed as having LCWRA, according to GOV.UK. This is intended to give people the confidence to try work without fear of losing their LCWRA status.
• Exceptions:Reassessments may still occur in limited situations, such as:
  • When a claimant reports a change in their health condition.
  • If a claimant has been awarded LCWRA due to pregnancy risk or cancer treatment with a short-term prognosis for recovery.
  • If a claimant has been declared as having LCWRA under the new risk provisions.
  • In cases of suspected fraud.
• Chance to Work Guarantee:The DWP is also introducing a "Chance to Work Guarantee" for existing LCWRA claimants, which allows them to work without it affecting their LCWRA status or benefit entitlement, according to Rethink Mental Illness.
