Work Capability Assessment
(asked on 18th May 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the Answer of 9 May 2016 to Question 36280, for what reasons work capability assessments have been cancelled.
This question was answered on 23rd May 2016
Work Capability Assessments can be cancelled for a wide variety of reasons linked to the need for matching the customer’s own requirements with the availability of all those parts necessary for an assessment to take place. Over half of all cancellations are customer instigated cancellations.
Where the cancellations are instigated by DWP we will rearrange the appointment at a convenient time for the customer.
