Aims
Limited Capability for Work, Part 2 looks at how to prepare a claimant for the medical assessment and what to do in cases where the claimant is unhappy with the DWP decision. After the break, we teach participants how to write an effective mandatory reconsideration (MR) request letter following a Work Capability Assessment decision.

By the end of the course participants will:

  • Be able to help claimants who have difficulty attending the medical;
  • Have an awareness of the questions that are likely to be asked at the medical assessment;
  • Understand the mandatory reconsideration and appeals process and how to help claimants who are without other income.
  • Know how to check for inconsistencies in the evidence used by the DWP to make the decision;
  • Know when and how to request further medical evidence in support of a claimant;
  • Have examined an example of a well written MR letter to consider best practice.
