If you get LCWRA and they send for a review, do you continue getting paid until review's complete?

    LCWRA is an ongoing award, exactly like the Support Group was for ESA. If they are sent another work capability assessment form then the LCWRA will continue until a decision's been made on their review.

    Are you sure it was an indefinite award or are you mistaking that for "ongoing"?

    The rules for the severe conditions group (indefinite) didn't start until 2017, so it's unlikely that he would have been awarded this 6 years ago. It's likely that he's just been very lucky not to have be re-assessed in that time.https://www.actionforme.org.uk/news/exclusion-from-re-assessment-esa-criteria-released/

    He was in so much distress they said they wouldn't send for him again at assessment mental health as well as other conditions and they have not sent for him in over six years

    PIP continues, LCWRA will continue if you have a partner under state pension age and are still entitled to UC. If not this will end.
