Work Capability Assessment and Sick Notes Green Paper Consultation

Department for Work and Pensions’ long-awaited Green Paper consultation on supporting more sick and disabled people in to work is being reviewd shortly. Among the measures being reviewed as part of the consultation is the controversial Work Capability Assessment

This is as well as the system of statutory sick pay and GP “fit-notes” to encourage phased returns to work as people recover from a long-term illness.

We await the outcome with interest.
