The DWP announced the new work capability assessment update in its latest newsletter
Claimants of Universal Credit and Employment & Support Allowance are likely to undergo reassessment - and in some cases payments could be reduced or even stopped. In 2025 there will be changes to work capability assessments, under new plans to amend some of the categories that can decide if someone is unable to work, reports Chronicle Live.
Officials warned that people must comply with the benefits reviews by filling in a medical questionnaire and attending a reassessment appointment when instructed to do so. Otherwise, their payments may be stopped, it said.And those who are found capable of working will see their benefits reduced as they are moved into a different group where they must prepare to look for a job. .
