I moved to UC in 2022 and sent in fit notes like you. They were backdated with assessments and it took over a year for me to get WCA form. Have you had any texts or rang up about how your WCA is progressing? You do get asked to attend a few work coach appointments until a decision is made. Your work coach can set the level of commitments and you can request a phone appointment due to your health. In the 13 months before I was placed in cannot work group, I had the initial meeting about what UC is, a phone appt and had to attend in person once. You should follow up on your WCA. The decision for me was fast as I moved from IR ESA to UC and they assessed us faster, so it was done in 2wks. It's best to talk to them and message your work coach via your journal to explain things so you can see if they'll do a phone appt instead when you have a lot going on healthwise.
I've also messaged UC to see if I can change the date and also have it done by phone.
If you're referring to the WCA here then you will need to contact the Health Assessment Advisory Service regarding this and not UC. https://chdauk.co.uk/about-us/contact-us/
This is for the JC appointment for a 'Work focused interview' as in my original post.
As I explained, I haven't heard anything as yet about the WCA since returning the form which is why I was confused about having this JC appointment.
