  • In this series of videos I talk you through, step by step, how to complete the dreaded Work Capability Assessment (WCA) with tips on how to think about your health condition, how to write it and what the pitfalls are.
    As a bit of a change to my usual format I have divided this up into sections so each video has links to the next part at the end or you can access it as a playlist from my channel - or search on the WCA question and it should come up with the appropriate video.

    I was fortunate when I applied through my work coach, for LC&WR. He helped me a great deal. I was able to get a telephone appointment, and the application itself was done over the phone. The process, is by far easier and better, than applying for PIP, which to be honest is pretty much a con.

    Hello Stuart! Thanks so much for this! I have to fill mine in and it’s daunting. Quick question : is it possible to send the evidence electronically? I’m asking cos I don’t have a printer and (also regarding delays) I’m still waiting on that info which I had to request as a subject access request.

      As far as I am aware it is not, but it depends on your Job Centre Plus as it usually goes through them.

      Try not to worry too much, just make sure you put plenty of detail into the form and get help with it if you can.

      I could not say - Are you signed off as unfit to work? Does it effect both knees, or just the one? You would best to speak to an advisor at the CAB

      It's an entirely paper based process and grossly inefficient. DWP are yet to cone into the 21st century!

      You can fill out a PDF electronic version if you have a computer and then access to a printer (as seen in this video) but it is usually done on paper.

      because you were signed off as sick. You need to be assessed for the period that you were not working.
