WCA LCWRA ASSESSMENT RESTART

davidpnuk

work capability and lcwra have apparently started now as I am told this was supposed to have been from April 2026 this just goes to show you this government says one thing then says the next there have been several changes to the benefits bill you don't know where you are with it so April 2026 is apparently not happening it stated restarts in the green paper scheduled for April 2026 but now its sooner NOW! So brace yourselves benefits and work website are saying wca have resumed so 🤔 🤷 there you have it lie after lie after lie same old same old labour are nothing but tories in different suits parasites the lot of them you can't trust any of them wca resumes April 2026 what cobblers they've resumed now what the hell is going on.

Keir starmer: So we're saying work capability assessments will resume in april 2026 but we're doing them now erm something like that 🤔 😐 I mean SERIOUSLY! they have lied again.

Well technically they started them back in 2022, but only very limited ammounts.

I think with the UC migrations taking place this will still be very limited for alot of LCWRA

This was news post published on the benefits and works page you may have seen.

19th June

The DWP has begun WCA reviews again. So existing LCWRA claimants may have their award reviewed before April 2026.  But if you do not have a review before that date, or you maintain your LCWRA status when you are reviewed, then you will receive the pre-2026 claimant rate from April 2026.

The wca and lcwra reassessment have started for everyone on the lcwra and uc are you saying they haven't if you want to put your head in the sand go ahead but this is happening and its happening right now so people will have to deal with it.

Well i never said you were wrong

All i said was that they may still be limited, most resources will prioritise for UC migrations, and with such a huge backlog some regions may put that focus to that first.

No need to be rude about put your head in the sand, at the end of the day we are all here to help and understand what is happening.

No nothing has happened yet the changes come in April 2026 in the spring statement it says assessments wca lcwra reassessments begin from April 2026 where are you getting its happening now from because it haven't heard anything different its April 2026 when these reassessments resume again I don't know who told you this but until you know you're being told the right facts can you think about not just posting it on here just in case you have it wrong as people are stressed over the government's benefits bill.
