Start date 12 July 2012
End date 7 September 2012
As part of his third independent review of the Work Capability Assessment, Professor Harrington launched a call for evidence on 12 July 2012.
He was particularly interested in views and evidence about the implementation of his recommendations and any changes to:
- communications.
- face-to-face assessment.
- decision making.
Who this call for evidence was aimed at
This call for evidence was aimed at individuals and organisations who have information that is relevant to how the Work Capability Assessment is operating and what further changes, if any, are needed to improve the process.
Professor Harrington’s review and the Government response
On 20 November 2012 Professor Harrington published his third independent review of the Work Capability Assessment and the Government published their response.
The call for evidence
While general evidence about the WCA is not excluded we would ask that, where possible, you focus your evidence on addressing the specific questions in the call for evidence. The questions are introduced in Part 6. They are also listed in this separate response document.
