ESA review question was created by organic
Hi,
I am on New Style ESA (UC). I was awarded LCWRA.
My review is due in June.
How many weeks before your review is due are you sent an ESA50?
Thanks.

Hi organic
Universal Credit LCW and LCWRA Decisions do not include an End Date or Award Length, the award is for an indefinite period but with scheduled reassessment, if you have the assessment report then the "prognosis" is used to set the date.
Your LCWRA claim should not stop until you have been re-assessed and been found either fit for work or placed in the LCW group.
In regards to your question, it could be anytime, at present there is a backlog in reviews.

Hi Gary,
I have the report. My review is scheduled for 18 months, which is June.
I just wondered if the DWP have a set time before the review date when they send out the form?
For example 4 weeks before?
Thanks.

Hi organic
I am not aware of a set time, although for PIP claims it used to be 6 months before the claim ended (pre Covid). With ESA it is different as ESA is an ongoing award until you have been reassessed fit for work or placed in LCW group.
