Hi all,

I sent back a UC50 (WCA) form back in November 2024 for my husband and have done 5 fit notes since then but i still ain't heard anything back.

Silly part is some of my husbands conditions that are on the UC50 form have worsened since then.

Does it normally take this long?

Regards

Den

    Unfortunately yes there can be a very long wait for an appointment during the WCA process.

    You can contact directly the health assessment agency to enquire about waiting times.

    Hi I think they need a good kick up the back side stressing people out with know communication and there relaxed way of doing it is terrible I hate dealing with them there a waist of time.

    Gotta agree, the least they can do is keep people informed.

    I sent my esa 50 back in Jan 24 hadn't heard anything. The jobcentre had been in touch with the doctor around May 24. But nothing still. It wasn't until I phoned esa in August that they admitted nothing had been recorded and I was still in the wrag group. I had my migration uc letter. So they got a wca for me in September due to my health being worse. And put in the support 3 weeks later. You may need to contact uc and ask .
