Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether it remains her Department's policy to begin the rollout of the abolition of the Work Capability Assessment and the categories of Limited Capability for Work and Limited Capability for Work Related Activity from April 2026.

We’ve been clear that WCA isn’t working and needs to be reformed or replaced.

We are working to develop proposals for reform to the system of health and disability benefits and will set them out in a green paper in the spring.

As part of the Get Britain Working plan, we will support more disabled people and those with health conditions to enter and stay in work, by devolving more power to local areas so they can shape a joined-up work, health, and skills offer that suits the needs of the people they serve.
