When does my LCWRA renew?

Ive been on esa support group for years and used to get pip until a few years ago. I switched to UC in 2018 and didnt have to get reassessed i just got put into lcwra. Does anyone know how to find out when it will be reassessed without having to phone them?

    There's no timescales, you can be reassessed anytime from 3 months. Even if you ring them and they give you a timescale, this will just be a guide and to be honest, i wouldn't ring because it will be "sods law" that if you did this then the next thing will be that white envelope containing the WCA form.

    Just keep an eye on your UC journal, as they will add a letter to notify you that the assessment is due.  And the form will then be posted to you.
    You can in future request the health professionals report from UC and it might say, when they recommend for the next assessment to be completed.

If you have a problem with any organisation, enter into their official complaints process at the earliest opportunity, as sometimes complaints have to be started within a certain time frame.
