Closed Stop the Work Capability Assesment for ESA, it is unfair and outdated.

Closed on

When you claim ESA you are very quickly sent an appointment to attend a Work Cappability Assesment (WCA), this assesment invloves you lifing your arms above your head, touching your legs and a series of questions: What do you eat on your toast? was one of these questions.

Since 2009 over 5000 people who have been forced to find a job have died after the WCA found them fit for work.
