2nd assessment. Its to soon.

Hi Beragon

Where an ESA or Universal Credit claimant has been assessed as having or treated as having a limited capability for work (LCW) or limited capability for work-related activity (LCWRA), social security law provides that the DWP may require them to undergo a further Work Capability Assessment (WCA) to determine whether-
• there has been a relevant change of circumstances in the claimant’s physical or mental condition; or
• the previous determination was made in ignorance of, or based on a mistake as to, some material fact
ESA claimants may also be reassessed if it is at least three months since the previous determination of LCW/LCWRA.

Beyond this, there are no rules on how often reassessments take place,

An appeal Tribunal’s decision may include a recommendation on when the next WCA should take place following a successful appeal. Unless there is “strong justification” to do otherwise, the DWP should follow any such recommendation, but unless the Tribunal specifies explicitly a particular period following the decision date, the Department assumes that the clock starts ticking from date of the original decision that was appealed. There should also be a minimum period of eight months between the date of the appeal decision and a subsequent WCA, unless DWP has good grounds for believing that an earlier review is required.

Further information on the rules regarding fresh assessments of LCW/LCWRA and Tribunals’ recommendations can be found in paragraphs 42290-42301 of the DWP Decision Maker’s Guide.
