Hi
I am an appointee.
The claimant has received a message saying ‘We need to find out more about your health condition’ from UC.
The claimant was awarded PIP indefinitely and UC from a couple of years ago - their condition is long term.
Is this letter one to be expected in this time frame?
Thank you for any advice.

Is there UC claim based on them being unfit for work?

It sounds like the claimant is being assessed or reassessed to see if they have Limited Capability for Work.

Thank you for replying.
Yes they have claimed for a couple of years. They are not fit for work.
The letter says they want to find out more. Claimant will receive a questionnaire soon.
Is this standard practice?

The mentioning of a questionnaire makes it almost certain that this is a reassessment, whilst the UC award is principle an indefinite one, claimants will be reassessed anywhere from three months since the last Decision to three years.
