When you claim UC your partner will need to make sure they report their health condition and provide a fit note within 7 days of that. They will be referred for a work capability assessment, usually around day 29 of your claim. They must continue to provide fit notes without any gaps until a decision is made on their work capability assessment.

Your partner can ask for a reasonable adjustment for a telephone appointment rather than attend in person. ID checks can be made through a telephone call. However, they will be treated as a job seeker until a decision is made on the WCA. It's a work coaches discretion to turn off or reduce commitments, some do and others don't.

I'm not sure what you meant by this comment … " We are asking a PIP for for my partner " Can you please confirm what exactly you mean.
