Worried

I don't think these ones are as scary as the health assessment ones, I think these ones just ask you about half a dozen questions just to see if you're still vaguely the same as when you first applied. Most of the staff know its a box ticking exercise and treat it as such, they know that something like autism isn't going to get better in a few months.

Thanks.  I made a printout of my original claim form.  I will try to find it.  I'm concerned at the short notice given of the review. 

I have had claims reviewed before, think of it as a chance to reinforce the difficulties you have, if you have multiple conditions, even things like IBS and/or dyslexia, tell them how such things gang up on you to make life difficult, they may decide to keep you permanently in the lwcra group. They did this for my son after he became allergic to the chemicals in the printing place he was working in and developed COPD because of them.

Hi Robert124,

I am sorry to hear that this review letter has caused you to feel worried.  

There is some information on gov.uk which explains the review process here: If your Universal Credit is reviewed - GOV.UK  Sometimes knowing what will happen in advance can be helpful for anxiety.

You may also like to consider sourcing an advocate to support you with your benefits.  You may like look in our services directory for advocates and support services in your area,  Autism Services Directory

I hope this information is useful

Take Care

Good luck!
