Work Capability Assessment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will publish the Work Capability Assessment decisions made between January 2022 and November 2024, broken down by mental and behavioural disorders.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
Statistics on Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) Work Capability Assessment decisions by grouped medical condition, including ‘mental and behavioural disorders’, are published on Stat-Xplore in the sections ‘ESA Work Capability Assessments’.
Users can log in or access Stat-Xplore as a guest and, if needed, can access guidance on how to extract the information required.
Statistics on Universal Credit Work Capability Assessment decisions by grouped medical condition, including ‘mental and behavioural disorders’, are available at Universal Credit Work Capability Assessment statistics, April 2019 to December 2024 - GOV.UK in section 6 of the document and table 7 of the tables.
Information on lower level conditions is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
