WCA BACKLOG FOR ASSESSMENTS was created by axab43
I have not had a WCA for UC for some years, since about 2020, pre pandemic., so I should be due one at some point. I retire in four years this years.
Can anyone tell me if there is a backlog for UC WCA assessments and how long it is? I am in the LCWRA for UC, not sure if this has any bearing in anything. Thanks

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi axab43
There have been very few LCWRA reviews since the beginning of the pandemic in March 2020 so you can easily see there is a 5 year backlog.
To tackle this there would have to be a major recruitment exercise of HAAS assessors by the companies Ingeus, Capita, Serco and Maximus. So keep an eye on the news section of BenefitsandWork.

Thank you. I was just hoping I might escape assessment before I get state pension, or at least very close to when I pension, when it will all feel much better anyway. As you said, there probably is a 5 year backlog of LCWRAs. I didn't think of that.

My son had a migration notice from ESA to UC and I wasn’t satisfied that he was in the right category as he is in the LCW and yet not worked for 23years and now attends a Daycare centre. We have just received the result 6 weeks after WCA forms sent.
