Hi,

The Centre for Health and Disablity (CHDA) has asked the DWP to video call me to asses my capability to work.

They want this done via a video call.

What are my rights if I do not have access to a video camera or do not want a video assessment? What are the alternatives?

Thanks

Hi Joshua

I imagine that many people might say they don't have the right equipment - though if you look at what they say you need a lot of people will have a smart phone chdauk.co.uk/help-with-video-assessments...20may%20be%20stopped.

I can't find anything on the government website that says about the claimant's right to refuse a video call. Obviously, if you don't have access to the equipment - they can't penalise you for that and they would have to make other arrangements. I think if you just refuse without giving an explanation of why you can't take part in the process you could put your claim at risk.
