No review for LCWRA, should I contact UC?

HI, in 2023 I have applied for LCWRA, after Court Hearing in 2024 I got awarded and got backdated payment, I was told it is for 2 years and they won't contact me within 2 years time. I think I am right in thinking it means 2 years from 2023, when first payment was? Means it is 2 years already and I didn't hear from UC about review. I did check my decision letter, nothing is said about for how long it is awarded, it just says how much I will get. Not sure what to do, I really don't want to end up with overpayment. Anyone was in similar situation, or have advice about what to do? Thank you:-)

    LCWRA carries on being paid until such a time as you are found fit for work or moved to LCW.

    It doesn't have a fixed end date like PIP.

    Re assessments have been suspended for the vast majority for quite a few years now, so significant backlogs exist within the system.

    A re assessment date will exist on the system but this is just a guide. Last time I asked about mine I was told October 2022. I've not bothered enquiring since.

    I wouldn't worry as very few reassessments are being carried out. Priority is being given to new claims and so reassessments are on the "back burner".

    Thank you for reassuring me:-)
