Hi,

No one can tell you that i'm afraid because no one here knows exactly how your conditions affect you. The exact qestions will be different for everyone.

During my daughters WCA last year they just ask about half a dozen questions based on a typical day for her. I gave a large amount of information and used real world incidents when i filled out her form so the information they needed was very little. Her assessment was completed in just under 20 minutes. Though they can last anywhere from this to 120 minutes, sometimes longer.

If you kept a copy of the form you filled in (you should have) then have a read through that before the assessment to remind yourself of the things you told them.

If you didn’t keep one, you can’t.

You will only receive extra money if found to have LCWRA. You can see the descriptors here for this https://www.benefitsandwork.co.uk/universal-credit-uc/uc-faq/limited-capability-for-work-related-activity
Once the assessment is complete and the report is returned to DWP the decision can take anything up to 12 weeks.
