Hi,Yes sometime they will ask for medical records between 2 specific dates and you will need to send them what they've asked for. You can request medical records free from your GP.The reaosn they are doing a telephone hearing is because face to face ones are currently suspended due to Covid19.If you are awarded LCWRA then how much you'll be owed will totally depend on when your assessment dates are for Universal Credit and when you sent your first fit note because there's a 3 month waiting period before the LCWRA payments are added.Best thing you can do is once you've had the decision from the Tribunal if it's LCWRA then come back here and post the question and i'm sure someone will help you further.Good luck with the hearing.

Thank you poppy123456 they have asked for medical records from 1st January 2017 to date said all I had to do was agree for them to get them from GP themselves I first handed my sick note in when i was changed to uc back in nov/dec18 so why are they asking for before that date?

They are obviously checking for something specific which they do sometimes.
