Hi,It's very similar to a PIP assessment but it has different criteria. For the work capability assessment they will assess your ability to do any type of work. They will ask you questions based on a typical day for you (at least that's what they did for me). They don't communicate because they are different benefits.Have you taken a look at the descriptors for each of the groups to see which you think you should be placed into?Special circumstances explained here. http://www.cpag.org.uk/content/making-exceptionGood luck.
I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
