Atos Healthcare: clarification for ESA claimants about today’s announcement
There has been an announcement today regarding Atos Healthcare’s contract to undertake Work Capability Assessments (WCA) on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
We have seen that this has caused some confusion for Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) claimants, especially those who currently have appointments to attend a face to face assessment. To clarify, we are continuing to complete WCA for anyone already referred to us by the Department for Work and Pensions and those referred going forwards. If you have been asked to attend an assessment please do attend as planned.
The WCA process that you will go through has not been changed.
The announcement only relates to WCA and does not affect the contract that we have for Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessments.
