In terms of assessment... fill in the form well... and try to provide any relevant supporting evidence you can. Future reviews and initial assessment can include face to face or telephone assessments but sometimes they can carry out paper based such if sufficient information. You could always add additional information to explain how you'd find a face to assessment difficult to attend - I historically have for ESA and PIP and they've never listened to me until now that the last two ended up curtailed due to distress.
To qualify for LCW you need 15 or more points in total - only one descriptor for each activity can be applied.
To qualify for LCWRA you need to meet the criteria for one or more LCWRA descriptor.

Beware time... I notice you seem to face imminent deadline for form return?
Sorry I'm confused what do you mean?0 -

I was a bit concerned when I saw that but perhaps it isn't correct?"Do not attribute to conspiracy what can adequately be explained by incompetence" - rogerblack0 -

One mistake not to make. (unfortunately many do get it wrong first time round).Remember that this is a Work Capability Assessment.It is not about any particular condition as such - it is all about your ability to do work, any job.So you have to tell them when questioned what you are and more importantly are not capable of doing, that's all that they are assessing.Your conditions can then back up what you are saying about your abilities, but a list of conditions/medications on it's own is not enough.1
