This full-day equivalent course, delivered over two consecutive mornings, focuses on the practical aspects of help towards rent in UC.

This course looks at how limited capability for work rules affect universal credit (UC). The outcome of the work capability assessment has a crucial role in determining claimants’ work-related requirements as well as the amount of money they get.

This course looks in detail at some of the more difficult advice topics around the work capability assessment (WCA). Aimed at advisers with a good background knowledge of the WCA rules, the course focuses on the ‘substantial risk’ criteria and how to apply them to clients who do not fit into point-scoring categories. The course also looks at how to optimise WCA challenges at the revision and appeal stages by taking a technical approach, based on identifying the relevant regulations and supporting case law.
