I am about to transfer my daughter of 19 from my universal credit to an application for lcwra.

Her college application needs to be held off until the lcw is granted otherwise she won't get any universal credit. Wondering how long it took for your applications to be approved? It is disappointing for her to miss a year of education because of this technicality!

    Have you had speciality advice? UC/Disability/Studying is a complex area.

    I'd suggest contacting Disability Rights UK who have a Disabled Students Helpline.

    The WCA process can take anywhere from a few months to one year +. It's not possible to be more specific as it'll be different for everyone depending on many variables.
