    Hi,

    We are currently in the middle of a pandemic and there's huge backlogs because assessments were stopped for quite sometime. Your LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision's been made. When you're referred for a review you will have a message on your journal, until that happens there's nothing for you to do.
    Please try to relax for now.
    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.

    There’s no need to contact anyone. Your LCWRA is ongoing anyway. 
    Even in normal times the timescale they give you is just a guide. If there was a time limit on it then it would be different.
