Hello,
Just looking for advice if possible.
Just looking for advice if possible.
I became ill last year and started handing in sick notes to universal credit end of May 2020, I got the UC50 forms in August 2020 and sent them back.
Due to a delay with the medical assessments I didn’t have my assessment until June 2021 which was over the phone and I have been awarded LCWRA.
I asked how long this lasts and have been advised 12 months, would this go from the date I had my medical assessment or the date that I sent the forms back to them?
Just a bit confused as if it’s when I sent the forms then it’s not very long left and I don’t want to keep asking loads of questions on my journal.
Thank you in advance for any help

Hi,It would normally go from the date you are awarded LCWRA from your online journal, so 12 months from that date roughly.I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

Hi @Ashleighmch and a warm welcome to our community.
It's a confusing process isn't it? But I hope our members replies have helped clarify how reassessment generally works. If you have any more questions, please fire away
Also, I've moved your thread to our Universal Credit category and tweaked the title to help others better spot your question.
Take care and have a lovely Wednesday.Online Community Co-ordinator

Reassessment or LCWRA?
My daughter gets this and I assumed because she gets PIP (enhanced for both) and has been placed in the 'light touch review' group, that would be the end of it..
More reviews to look forward to at some point then I guess..

Yes you do get reassessed for lcwra @Luna51 it is also nothing to do with pip they are separate benefits with different criteria
Lcwra can be assessed anytime from 3 months after the award
However they are currently dealing with backlogs of new claims -

There's no timescales for any decision, some people have a decision within a day, others wait several weeks. Once it's made a letter will be uploaded onto your journal.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
