    That's just based on the latest info we have about the current rules- not to say it won't change and you'll be called in sooner.

    Hi there

    Where can you find the dates you can be expected to be called for the medical? I live in Leicester and have been googling but can't find anything. Thanks

    You will be called for the WCA roughly at the time your next PCA review was due to happen.

    Only the DWP can answer this question for you as it is a case specific query rather than somethin we can find out for you.
