UC Review

Hello everyone, My LCWRA went to a tribunal and the court said I should not be asked again for a minimum of 2 years. Those 2 years are nearly up, however, my physical or mental health has not improved. When I receive my review for LCWRA, will I also have to submit all the medical reports like I did when I first applied?…
