Capability Reports
During your first Personal Capability Assessment, the approved healthcare professional may produce a separate Capability Report. This will contain information about your capabilities and any help you may need to support a return to work.

The Capability Report will be sent to your personal adviser who will use it in providing help to improve your employability, and to plan a path towards a return to work.

The Capability Report will not be seen by the Jobcentre plus benefit decision maker and will not be used in determining your claim to benefit.

You will be told if a Capability Report is prepared in your case.

? why is the PCA not seen by the DWP

Hi Joey,

Your Personal Capability Assessment ( PCA) is sent to the DWP as this is used
to help assess your benefit entitlement.

The Capability Report, if one is carried isn't sent to the DWP because as it states in the link you provided and your quote from it, will not be used in determining your claim to benefit.

Hope this clarifies things.

Best wishes.

Jim
