The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has issued new guidance for people ahead of face-to-face assessments for benefits.
The government department, along with assessment providers, have put a range of measures in place so that consultations can take place safely while the nation gets back to some kind of normality after the pandemic.
While restrictions have been relaxed for some time now, precautions remain in place for people attending in-person consultations for Work Capability Assessment (WCA), if you are claiming Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) or Universal Credit; Personal Independence Payment (PIP); Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit (IIDB); and other benefits that require a health assessment delivered by Centre for Health and Disability Assessments (CHDA).
