Hi and welcome on board

Sorry you didnt get lcwra and of course we will be happy to help where we can

The next stage is mandatory reconsideration

There is lots 8f advice in our uc section and also welfare rights may help

But ask away if there are any questions you have

mosharp

I feel that I have met the criteria on coping with change. Only received decision today so need to ask for written decision first but don't know under which category in my journal to request this

janer1967

How was you
notified of the decision ? Is this not the written decision

The best way to get it noticed on your journal is to put it as either a payment query or service issue then hopefully your case manager will pick it up

Or you could ring to ask for a copy

Hello @mosharp

Welcome to the community, I hope you are well.

Sorry to hear you were awarded LCW when you felt as though you should have received LCWRA. I have moved your discussion to our Universal Credit category, which you also might like to browse for related content.

mosharp

@Ross_Scope Thank you. I'll certainly look there ?

mosharp

@janer1967 I was notified by journal message. Just the decision no details. Thank you for advice on asking for written decision

You will not get a written decision. All messages through UC are via the journal.

That’s what I would expect.

mosharp

@calcotti it says on the letter I received in my journal that I can ask for a written explanation

Leigh14

On mine, it does say that you or someone who has authority to act for you, can phone, or use your journal to request a written explanation.

mosharp

@Leigh14 that's what I've done?

Leigh14

@mosharp, good luck with it all.

mosharp

@Leigh14 thank you ?

I think it was awarded for 2 years about 16 months ago and was backdated for a year if i remember so my memory is a bit sketchy tbh now. But i never received a letter through the post and I've still not received anything about a reassessment either so no idea how it works

You don't get letters through the post on UC, messages are sent via the journal.

mosharp

@Lou67 have asked for written detailed decision so will see what happens

I think it’s the use of the word ‘written’ that may be causing confusion. Of course the days of quill and ink are largely past and most written information is generated on computers. You should get a written decision in the sense of language represented by symbols which can be read. However I expect this to be delivered as a pdf document via your UC journal, not as a printed document on paper delivered through your letterbox.
