The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.

DWP publishes Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) Work Capability Assessment (WCA) national processing times for initial claims on GOV.UK. We are currently unable to provide Universal Credit (UC) WCA processing statistics as these could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
