Hello , I was wondering if anyone knows when there starting lcwra again as I've had 2 now my second was Nov 2020 and they said they may give me a call sometime do I just have to live stressed waiting on an appointment forever or is there a times pan as lts for my lungs and depression anxiety so I don't go out except essential things thanks I also had this last year with a pip review in February and had to stress all year now its away to change as I'm in Scotland,  and are the lcwra reviews appointments any help would be great I can't stop stressing

    The changes in Scotland affect PIP, not LCWRA.

    There are no timescales for LCWRA reviews.

    Reviews for the work capability assessment are currently still suspended and have been since the start of the pandemic. LCWRA is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise.

    As you're claiming UC then when it's time for your review you will receive a letter on your journal telling you that they are referring you. A few days after that you will receive the form in the post.

    Most assessments are by telephone. If this is regarding the work capability assessment review then they are still suspended so you won't be having a review anytime soon.

    What date was your first and second assesments 

    That makes no difference for the work capability assessment because they are suspended.

    No idea sorry. You already have LCWRA which is an ongoing award until a new decision says otherwise. 
    When they do start back there will be huge backlogs so it’s unlikely you’ll be reviewed anytime soon. 
    When they do refer you eventually you’ll receive a letter on your journal and shortly after that you’ll receive another form in the post. 
    Until then you need to try to focus on something else.
