    Hi @fkennedy0689 :) You may find it helpful to read through this Citizens Advice page, which runs through the process for being awarded LCWRA. 

    It's quite normal to be called for an assessment after completing the forms. 

    Is your assessment in-person?

    Once you have had the assessment a report will be made to UC. They will then decide whether or not they consider you fit for work, have LCW or have LCWRA. If you are awarded LCWRA you will be entitled to the extra lCWRA element from the fourth month after you reported you health condition.
