Do not scrap the Work Capability Assessment (WCA)
The Government must immediately withdraw the proposal to scrap the WCA, as detailed in its Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper.
It should conduct more extensive and inclusive consultation with disabled people than is currently being undertaken, in accordance with the Gunning Principles.
The Green Paper proposes scrapping WCA and replacing it with the PIP assessment using what critics see as a stricter 4-point daily living test. We think that consultation with disabled people has not been meaningful or inclusive enough—either during development or now. We believe this breaches the Gunning Principles of consultation. We think the aim of the proposal seems cost-cutting, not real reform, and that these changes could have devastating impacts on disabled people and their families.
