THE TRUTH IS FINALLY OUT ABOUT WCA OUTCOMES FOR ESA AND UC
After years of refusing to do so, the DWP have finally bowed to pressure and published statistics showing the outcome of work capability assessments (WCAs) for universal credit (UC).
65% have limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA) – the UC equivalent of the support group.
19% have limited capability for work (LCW).
16% were found fit for work.
By comparison, in the quarter to December 2022, the figures for ESA were:
65% placed in the Support Group
12% placed in the Work Related Activity Group
22% were found Fit for Work
So, the proportion going into the support group was virtually the same for ESA and UC.
The proportion found fit for work was actually higher for ESA.
