- A Department medical assessor must confirm the restriction on capacity for work.
- Apply before starting work because starting first may affect entitlement.
Important: SupportCheck cannot perform the medical assessment. Partial Capacity Benefit cannot be received with Working Family Payment, although half-rate Carer’s Allowance may be possible.
