Are WCA's for universal credit (lcwra) still on hold?

anxietyanddepression

I've been reading in this forum a couple of months ago that the WCA's are on hold. As of today (Sept 27, 2022), are they still on hold? I can't seem to find the original source that would say this.

I've not seen any official confirmation that reviews have started back up again.

WCAs have never been on hold except for a short period early on during Covid. However review assessments have been on hold but it does appear from other posts that some may now be taking place. I can't find anything official one way or the other.

I was awarded LCWRA in Oct 2021 and my health report from the assessor states a recommended "referral" for 18 months, so that would be March 2022 approximately. Of course, with anxiety, I am worrying ahead of time.

The timescale is nothing more than a guide. LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

So, if I were to miss a deadline for whatever reason, they won't immediately stop my award?

It will depend what the deadline was for. You were asking about WCA timescales and my answer was for that.

I don't appreciate bad attitude.

Really? I'm sorry you think that way. Would you like to explain where that attitude was? All i said was that it will depend on what the deadline was for.

What bad attitude. Poppy observed that her replies were to the question you asked.

Welcome to the community @anxietyanddepression

Thanks for joining us!

As biblioklept has kindly explained, it can definitely be difficult to read the tone of posts online at times. I've given the thread a read through, and I don't think anyone's had any ill intent.

If you're unhappy with posts or comments from another member in the future, you can use the 'report' function to flag this up to us (the community team) so that we can review what's been said. Does that make sense?

Many members on the community can relate to your feelings of anxiety, both generally, as well as in relation to benefits claims, so you're in good company here. Are you receiving any support to help you manage your anxiety and depression at the moment?
