My wife has just been awarded lcwra, she was handing in her fitness papers since January 2019. She has always provided fitness papers except during late 2020 when covid hit and we were on lock down, they even stopped asking for them on her journal. In 2021 a different work coach started asking for fitness papers and queried why she hadn't been assessed, we reapplied by sending in another application. She is now on lcwra but they are only back dating it to the time they asked to start supplying fitness papers again. She has ask for a mandatory reconsideration but it that was 4 months ago, how long does it normally take?

    A Mandatory Reconsideration should be dealt with in about 12 weeks.

    Welcome to the community @osprey :) How are you and your wife doing this weekend? 

    I hope that calcotti's comment has helped to clear that up for you, and that your wife isn't left waiting too long to hear back.
