I have had confirmation from my work coach been accepted for lwcra just wondering how long is the wait for the questionaire to be sent if someone could give me a rough timescale and also how do they decide if they are going to issue f2f or telephone appointment many thanks

    If you haven't yet been sent the UC50 form then you haven't been accepted for LCWRA. The work capability assessment will need to take place first, an assessment is most likely because most have them. Most are done by telephone.

    The decision could be either LCW, LCWRA or fit for work. It can often take several months for the work capability assessment. Once you're referred you will receive a letter on your journal telling you they are referring you. Shortly after that you will receive the UC50 form in the post to fill in and return with all your supporting evidence.

    Do you mean that the Work Coach has referred you for a Work Capability Assessment. The UC50 should now be issued. This is supposed to happen 29 days after you first report your health condition (in some cases on day 1).

    That makes no sense, you can't be found to have LCWRA and then be referred for an assessment at the same time. What does the letter actually say please? Please be aware that if you do post the letter here then please remember to remove any personal information.

    Work capability decision  letter they have decided that I have limited capability and any extra money will be sent within 7 days or a journal message to state when I will receive this is what confusing me as I have not as the questionaire nor an assessment hope this makes sense

    'Limited Cabapility' isn't a decision - it is either 'Limited capability for Work' or 'Limited Capability for Work and Work Related Activity'.
