    Even though he hasn't been asked to attend work focused interviews this doesn't mean the decision was LCWRA. It could still have been LCW and there's no extra money each month for that.

    He can request a SAR for the information they hold on him and that should give you the information you need. Make sure you include the date that the decision was made on the work capability assessment if he knows when that was. https://secure.dwp.gov.uk/personal-information-request/name
