After receiving advice on this forum I wrote a letter to the DWP asking when my next Work Capability Assessment is due. I obtained a proof of postage. It's been 4 weeks and I still haven't had a reply. The address was a PO Box.

Any advice on this matter would be greatfully appeciated.

The simplest answer is for you to phone them or if you cannot, get someone to do it for you, you will need to be present when they make the call.

Still haven't heard anything from them. I've decided to have some one phone them for me. However, I'm concerned that if I make this enquiry they may decide to conduct a new Work Capabiity Assessment on me...

Phoning won't start a reassessment.

A family friend phoned whilst I was in attendance. She asked the benefits advisor if she could provide info regarding the date of my next Work Capabiity Assessment - informing her that info could be found under the heading 'Prognosis' on my computer records. The advisor replied that she'd never heard of 'Prognosis'. I was a bit miffed by this and told my friend that I had read advice given on here that clearly stated that info could be found under 'Prognosis'.

The advisor did provide info, however, stating that it had been 'Recommended' - she did say by whom but my friend cannot remember the professional title of the person - that the date of my next one would be 'Approximately' around the middle of December.

Am I to presume that the info given is correct?

I cannot understand why the advisor said that she'd never heard of 'Prognosis' in relation to my next assessment???

The prognosis is on the Assessment Report and is used to set the date on the ESA computer system.

If they have given you a date then I can see no reason to doubt it.
