Categories are designed to determine what activity people can do and how that affects their ability to work.
The Department for Work and Pensions has launched a new consultation on changes to the Work Capability Assessment . The consultation will look at updating the WCA’s categories so they better reflect the modern world of work and the opportunities more readily available to disabled people.
DWP said those who were found capable of work preparation activity in light of the proposed changes would receive tailored support, safely helping them to move closer to work and ensuring a significant proportion of people are not automatically excluded from the support available. “That’s why we’re doing everything we can to help more people thrive in work - by reflecting the complexity of people’s health needs, helping them take advantage of modern working environments, and connecting them to the best support available.
Latest Benefits News The Work Capability Assessment is being reviewed to ensure it reflects the latest opportunities for employment support, so that growing numbers of people are not missing out on the help available - research shows that one in five would like to work at some point in the future.
