Hi,
I have finally received a Work Capability Assessment to fill in from the job centre, is there any tips anyone has on how to fill it in.
I'm going to fill in some of it and then pass it onto my nurse to help fill it in so any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
I have Autism, ADHD, Schizophrenia, Gilberts Syndrome and Crohn's Disease and have knowledge in these areas.

Hi @rubin16
Thanks for reaching out to us. Unfortunately, Work Capability Assessments are not my area of expertise which means I am hoping someone with more knowledge can respond to you soon with more specific advice. However, in the meantime, I just wanted to ask you if there is a particular question or section of the Work Capability Assessment you are struggling with? You may find Mental Health & Money Advice's article about the Work Capability Assessment useful. If you are interested, you can find it at https://www.mentalhealthandmoneyadvice.org/en/welfare-benefits/will-i-need-a-work-capability-assessment-to-claim-benefits/how-do-i-fill-in-the-health-questionnaire/. I hope this helps but if you have any additional questions or need support with anything else, please don't hesitate to reach out again
