WAITING TIMES FOR REVIEWS UC SUPPORT GROUP was created by EM444
Morning All
Hope all is well, with everyone.
Feeling bit over anxious, this morning. Getting mixed messages, so still unsure. Has anyone in the UC Support group, had their review on time. Or are people still waiting ? I've heard there are backlogs, mines not til August. Was told that Support Group won't be reviewed for the foreseeable future. One lovely person did answer, but It wasn't quite the right answer, as they misunderstood what I was asking. I just wondered what this means. No plans to review Support Group, in the foreseeable future. I struggle with wording, and so, not sure what foreseeable means.
I'm to embarrassed to ask in my journal.
Thanks in advance

Hi EM444
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
Just to clarify, LCWRA is an indefinite award with scheduled reassessment, your current award will remain in payment until a new Decision is made. At the moment DWP are concentrating on new claims, reviews are still taking place but at a reduced rate.
EM444 you need to sit back and relax until you get the review form, if you need something to do you can start compiling supporting documents.

Thanks Gary
I'm not the easiest person to deal with. I do let my anxiety get out of control sometimes. I will take your advice, and try my best.

Probably not what you want to hear, but, I am in the support group of ESA and my 'review date' when I phoned and asked the ESA helpline for it was 1st May 2022.
Today I received the ESA50 form to complete and return this was dated 1st March 2022. So this was exactly two months prior to the review date as it always has been in the past.
I am aware that ESA is an 'indefinite' award, so know that my current benefit will remain in payment until a decision is made. I am expecting that will be long past the 1st May owing to the backlogs in the system.

Hi Hollyharvey
Thank you for your post, I hope your review goes well.
I would still say to EM444 not to stress out but wait until they get the review form.
Review dates do vary across the region. Some are very quick others not so quick.
