I attended Job center this morning 
I told my work coach that my anxiety and depression has seen to worsen 
she called over a disability advisor she took me in a room and give me some numbers to call I also asked if she could speed up the process of limited work capability assessment she sent me a message on my hour am saying she will speak to her manager about the assessment 

any advice on what might happen?

    Have you been referred for the WCA yet and received the UC50 form in the post? You can be assessed until this has happened.

    You still need to be assessed and this has nothing to do with DWP or a case manager. The Health Assessment Advisory Service are responsible for those. https://chdauk.co.uk/ if an assessment is needed (most have them) you will be contacted for an appointment, which are mostly by telephone.

    Once the assessment report is written and returned a decision maker will make the decision. Waiting times for assessments will depend on the backlogs in your area. Some wait longer than others.
