We have been asked by the DWP to carry out an assessment in relation to your benefit claim. WCA AL1C 02/15 is in the info but doesn't say what for. Help please
The reference to a WCA would suggest that this is in regard to an ESA claim!
Have you recently completed an ESA50?

I'm afraid not, the criteria are too different.
Have a look at the following.
Invited to a face to face assessment but no ESA50 sent

ESA assessments are done by Maximus they have no involvement in the PIP process. A PIP assessment report can be used to help make an ESA Decision but it cannot replace an ESA assessment, as I said, the criteria are too different.
