    There's no end date. It's an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

    Hello

    I was awarded LCWRA in 2023 after appealing and am worried about being reassessed and having to go through all the fighting again to get it or keep it. Will they re assess me and if so after how long? does anyone know please?

    Hi,

    LCWRA is an ongoing award. There is no official end date. However they can reassess you at any point.

    I would expect most of us to be reassessed at some point, but it should not be something to worry about constantly.

    Hi @Birdfeeder and welcome to the community. I just wanted to add that the award is indefinite but the DWP recommends a review between 6 and 36 months. This isn't required for those with severe or chronic disability/health conditions or if your condition is unlikely to improve. Here's some more information: https://carescribe.io/blog/limited-capability-for-work-and-work-related-activity-lcwra-guide/

    As Overly has said, try not to worry about it. Hopefully you won't be reassessed for a while.
