Hi all,

I just received the copy of ESA85 Medical report form for my son. My son diagnosed with ASD and Tourette’s Syndrome since 4 years old. In the section 39 LCW AND LCWRA INFORMATION medical professional concluded that: the client was found to meet the criteria for Limited Capability for Work and Work Related Activity. How likely DWP will follow advice the medical professionals on this report and put my son in LCWRA. And how long to wait decision after medical telephone assessment.
Many thanks,
Victoria

Hi Victoria

Welcome to the forum, you might want to have a look at the following FAQ which explains where everything is

Welcome to Benefits and Work

That is an interesting question, one that we cannot answer as it depends on a number of factors such as the area where you live.It usually takes between 2 - 8 weeks for a decision pre-covid, you also have the Christmas post to take into account.

The decision maker will usually follow the decision of the assessment report but you cannot guarantee it as we have heard on the forum a few times where the decision maker has not followed the assessors recommendation.

Enjoy your Christmas and try not to worry about it. :)
