    Hi @forstgump :) Is this for a work capability assessment? 

    The health care professional doing your assessment should have read the questionnaire you completed, and will ask you some questions about problems you face during a typical day. Did you keep a copy of your questionnaire?

    Who told you a paper assessment has been completed?
    As you have your assessment tomorrow, unless you’ve been told by them that it’s now been cancelled then you should still expect it to go ahead.

    The 2 groups are LCW and LCWRA. If you’re placed into the LCWRA group you will receive extra money from the 4th month after you reported the health condition.
    If it’s LCW there’s no extra money.
    All you can do is wait for the decision and once it’s made the letter will be uploaded into your journal. 
    There’s no timescales for the decision.

    I have read the whole thread but had difficulty following your posts that's why I'm not clear about the question.

    I think the situation is this.
    The appointment 'tomorrow' which you referred to in your post made in the early hours was with your work coach and took place today. 
    You have been told that the assessment service have completed the assessment report based on the paper evidence only. They have returned the report to DWP.
    That means the DWP now have to make a decision on whether you are Fit for Work, have Limited capability for Work (LCW) or have Limited capability for Work and Work Related Activity (LCWRA). Those are the possible outcomes referred to by your work coach. You need to wait for the decision which will be advised yo you through your Uc journal.
    If you are found to have LCWRA you will be entitled to extra money in your UC payments from the fourth payment after you notified them of your health condition.

    Ok many thanks if I don’t get the outcome I want what steps should I take I’m sure I will get one of those as it’s all been supported by health care professionals I see . Lcwra is the ideal outcome

    You can challenge the decision. I suggest you wait for the decision and come back for advice if it isn't LCWRA.

    Usually they go with the assessor but not always.
