Work Capability Assessments

Work Capability Assessments (WCAs) are evaluations used by government agencies to determine an individual's ability to work and manage daily activities. They help decide what kind of support or benefits someone may qualify for if they have health issues or disabilities. The assessment considers physical and mental health, daily functioning, and how these impact potential employment. It typically involves questionnaires, medical evidence, and sometimes a face-to-face interview. The goal is to ensure that support is tailored to each person's needs, balancing workplace participation with appropriate assistance where necessary.
