Details
This is a summary of the latest National Statistics on the outcomes of completed Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) Work Capability Assessments (WCA). The publication covers information on both initial and repeat ESA assessments in Great Britain.
This release includes:
- Outcomes of initial and repeat WCAs to end of December 2021
- Outcomes of completed Incapacity Benefit (IB) reassessments up to December 2021
- Completed initial WCA appeal outcomes for ESA claims with a start date to March 2021
- End to end initial ESA claim clearance times to end of December 2021
- Mandatory Reconsideration (MR) information to end of April 2022:
- number of MR registrations
- number of MR decisions
- MR outcomes by type of decision
- Median MR clearance time
Universal Credit (UC) was rolled out to every Jobcentre across Great Britain by December 2018 and has now replaced income-related ESA for most new claimants. This has greatly changed the volume and composition of new claims to ESA.
Note: Information based on Date of Decision is reported up to 6 months prior to the publication. The delay is 9 months for the presentation of data by Date of Claim, which allows time for most customer journeys to be completed and the information presented to accurately reflect this journey.
