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:
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 is only available for claims that began at least 6 months following the assessment date, or 9 months following the date of claim. This is because of the time required for the customer journey to end and for the information recorded to be as complete as possible.
Read background information on these statistics in ESA: outcomes of Work Capability Assessment policies and statements.
