The DWP are launching a single form to assess work capability from the 24th November.

This will replace the UC50 and ESA50, however, these forms are still going to be accepted for a significant period of time.

They have done this to make things simpler and have changed the form to improve accessibility and make the wording clearer.

    I remember my assessment my teeth was chattering couldn't stop i was so scared like you said it wasn't cold but you would have thought i was in Iceland but honestly now I try to tell myself they are only human do not allow myself to be bullied or feel bullied take the power away from them and put the strenght back into you its so sick the whole world if politics and how they want the fear based society easier to control you are applying for a benefit that you are more than entitled too who wants to be on this system no one if we had choices it wouldn't be this life that im sure of your doing this at the right time when you filled the form out leave the rest to them get on with your days the best you can try not to let it consume you everything will be ok tell yourself that everyday just write an essay if you have to the more information the better

    My recent wca in September, I had my friend with me. Although the lady was nice. I had a panic attack , and got breathless and needed my inhaler. I was physically shaking. And in tears. My mental and physical health has got worse. I don't go out hardly And feel panic when I have to go to town. I'm not to bad with the local shops. But I hate crowds
