Personal Capability Asessment

I note, with respect to those already in receipt of Incapacity benefit, that they will be 'moved across' to ESA and re=assessed.
Fine
I also note this:
"the date of a customer’s re-assessment will be based on the review date of their Personal Capability Assessment;"

Ive been on IB since 1993 and never had any Personal capability Asessment

Curious?

  • I'm on IB and have never had a Personal Capability Assessment either.
  • Have you never completed an IB50?this is effectively the PCA,if you score 15 points then thats it.
    Some people dont even get the IB50 their gp is asked to complete a form(med20?)and Ib id renewed without an IB50.
  • I filled in a form some years ago to apply for IB (I can't remember what the letters/numbers of the form were).

    Since then I have never had a renewal form and never had a medical.

    I just send in a sick note ( the last one was a 'fit' note) every 6 months.
