I had a LCWRA assessment by phone on Friday 17th July, it lasted just over two hours and was absolute draining. I then missed an unscheduled call from Serco yesterday, managed to call them back this morning after a few failed attempts and they say I now have a second interview booked for the 5th Aug.

Hello, I am helping someone to complete an Attendance Allowance form but find some questions rather confusing and have some questions and would be grateful for any advice.

What I remember is the feeling that had been building all day — a kind of internal trembling, as if something inside me was loosening, slipping, preparing to give way. I was twenty‑six, trying to keep up with the demands placed on me: the Civil…

In mine they asked for a couple of missing joint account statements which I immediately sent (oversight) one of which is never used.…
