    For the work capability assessment it's all about how your conditions affect your ability to do any type of work. Therefore, evidence to prove how your conditions affect you. This link says ESA but it also includes UC. https://www.chdauk.co.uk/employment-and-support-allowance-esa

    A Fit Note from GP will be required for your employer and if you wish to claim UC and/or ESA on grounds of a health condition limiting your ability to work.
    Information I post is for England unless otherwise stated. Some rules may be different in other parts of UK.
