Universal credit review and lcwra question

vickiloola

Hi All,

I've been reading about the universal credit reviews and although I do agree that we shouldn't have to give so much personal information I was too stressed about it and sent them what they asked for. I literally didn't sleep for days, couldn't concentrate and made myself quite unwell over it. However the reason I posted on here was that I had that call today. I worried about nothing, she did ask me some questions and as it turned out I had made a small genuine error and been overpaid by £6. I just wanted to put some people's minds at rest that it wasn't as awful as I had made it to be.

On another note I have a question relating to the limited capability for work. I was put on the lower one but my health has deteriorated quite badly so was asked to fill another form in which was sent start of January. I still haven't had another review or assesment. My work coach chased it and they said it's being processed still. Does it normally take this long for a reassessment? I would receive extra help if on higher one so wondering if they dragging their feet to avoid paying?

Thanks everyone.

There are unfortunately long waits for WCA's at the moment.

You can enquire with the assessment provider, see if they can give you an idea of wait time for an appointment.

Thanks for sharing how your review went @vickiloola, that's really helpful. Sorry that you were so unwell with the stress of it, but I'm glad to hear it wasn't too bad in the end.

Kimi87's idea sounds like a good plan. I hope you're not waiting too much longer to get it all sorted!
