Hi everyone
As above really, are people usually told that they are awarded LCWRA for a set time (as they are with PIP?) I'm curious because I've read a few people's experiences on another social media platform that some claimants were told a time frame - for example: 3yrs.
I've never heard of it to be fair, and I just assumed they call you in whenever they wish..
(One of my daughter's was awarded PIP for 10yrs but we were not told how long for LCWRA)
Thank you 😊

LCWRA is different to PIP and there's no end date to it. It continues until a new decision says otherwise. It's on ongoing award. They don't usually give timescales on decision letters but they will give you a guide if you ask them when the referral date it. However, this is just a guide. At the moment reviews are still suspended so it's unlikely there will be a review anytime soon.

Thanks @poppy123456
That's interesting, do you know if the reviews are usually another form to fill in or a face to face assessment? (It's good to know for future reference)
I read in the news that some staff at the DWP are striking for two weeks from the 19th Dec' (more delays for claimants!) but then there's nothing new there I suppose..

Reviews are exactly the same procedure as the first time.

Of course, I should have clarified that I meant there's "nothing new" in the delays for claimants.
I completely understand the reasons for striking.0
