Course Overview



Central Training's Work Capability & Disability Benefits for Working-Age Claimants course aims to give an overview of work capability assessment and Personal Independence Payment (PIP), covering entitlement, age rules and 'extras' relating to an award of a disability benefit or work capability decision. The trainer will focus on the claim process from start to finish, including completing questionnaires, supporting evidence, checking decisions and challenges. Finally, the session will aim to assist attendees with identifying potential claims, signposting and assisting claimants and knowing when to challenge decisions. This is an ideal course for those working with working age disability claimants, including service users with complex needs, mental or physical disabilities and substance-misuse issues.

  • What to claim if unfit for work

  • How to support people going through assessments
  • Linked benefits, 'extras' and potential increases
