This is the third and final Independent Review of the Work Capability Assessment (WCA) by Professor Malcolm Harrington, which examines the scale of change that has occurred from the two previous reviews. The WCA was introduced to determine eligibility for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), providing a functional assessment of whether someone could work; whether someone could work at some point with the right support; or whether someone cannot work and therefore needs unconditional State support. The two main strands to the recommendations in the original reviews are: (i) to revise the process of the WCA from the first claimant contact right through to appeal (where necessary); (ii) to review whether the current descriptors accurately capture the true nature of the claimants' case. For the claimants' process part, the Professor states that strenuous efforts have been undertaken by improving procedures of DWP Operations. For descriptors, progress has been positive but slow. There has also been some limited progress on the training of professionals in DWP Operations.
