LCWRA. DMs have until October 11th to inform me of outcome. Is this normal procedure?

Hi everyone 😊 I had my WCA on July 22nd, I was told by my work coach that a decision has been made and that the decision makers have until October 11th to inform me of the outcome.. just wanted to know if this is normal procedure. Any feedback is much appreciated 😊

If a decision's been made then the letter should be uploaded onto your journal. I've never known them have a timescale in which to inform you.

Thanks Poppy😊 I'm new to all of this, I have a different work coach and even she didn't know why that the decision has been made but I have to wait till October 11th..

Maybe October 11th is the 12th week? I think they have a maximum of 12 weeks to inform you of decision. Fingers crossed for best possible outcome for you.

There’s no maximum time they have to make a decision.

Hi everyone just an update on my lcwra.. The date for my decision on 11th of October came and went I have still not been informed of a decision yet.. I left a message yesterday 14th of October for my work coach and said she had escalated my enquiry to the decision makers and when she finds out she will let me know, she's a new work coach and doesn't have a really good manner.. it's over 13 weeks since my assessment and just really tired with it all.

That must be incredibly frustrating @Philomena65 I'm sorry to read what's happened. Hopefully you'll get some clarity and a decision before too long. I know the process is incredibly tiring, mentally and physically, and as far as I can see you've done everything you need to on your side.

I hope you're able to take your mind off it a little this weekend, and if you need to vent, or just want to chat, the community are here to support you

I suspect that when your WC said a decision had been made they meant the assessment report had been received. It can take 12 weeks for the DM to make a decision after the assessment report has been received.

Thanks Calcotti I just have to wait it out 🙂

I have no idea how they can predict when a decision would be made by. The timescales are only ever a guide.
