Hi @mickymoo

Good Evening & Welcome to our Community/Family.

Hi @mickymoo. Unfortunately it's not unusual to wait quite some time for a Work Capability Assessment from UC. If you are awarded you wouldn't receive your first LCWRA payment until three full assessment periods after your first fit note was handed in.

I hope you hear from them soon.

Thank you for your reply
Had a funny phone call this morning from DWP pip decision maker  asking name of bank and my middle name also age at next birthday????

Did they say why they were calling @mickymoo? It's not unusual to be asked to verify details but it does seem strange for them to only want those details.

@Adrian_Scope
Said she would be making a decision today and would have a letter in 7 to 10 days ???? Does this mean I have got an award or not

Hi Sorry it doesn't necessarily mean you have been given an award but with asking for bank details this could be possible.

You wont have long to wait if a decision is being made today

As for your work capability outcome hopefully you will hear soon but they do seem to take quite a while in current situation

It's impossible to know if you have an award from that I'm afraid @mickymoo. Hopefully you won't be waiting too long for a decision letter to be uploaded to your UC journal. Let us know when you hear!

Edit: I just realised this was for your PIP decision wasn't it? Sorry @mickymoo. Obviously your PIP decision won't be uploaded to your UC journal.
