Today was the day I had a LSCI with the DWP and was fretting over what was going to be said, however I was not to be disappointed it was a small chat to see what I needed to continue receiving benefits

it lasted 10 minutes and was over with a cheery goodbye and thanks for complying.

anyone else had one of these?

    Sounds like a random check, which does happen sometimes.

    @Alex_Scope thank you, no it was quite daunting when the letter came through I was pretty anxious about what it all meant, I spent a weekend trying to find out. 

    But I’d like to say that anyone who has one coming up need not worry or if it’s something small then please do not panic

    @L_Volunteer thank you for the concern, I felt relieved after it was over. The whole thing was just a small talk and over with.

    my advice to anyone is do some research on the subject before the call itself
