UC WCA Telephone Consult

Hi Steven

Unless your spouse is your appointee (www.gov.uk/become-appointee-for-someone-claiming-benefits), then the assessor will want to speak to you initially. If you are unable to complete the assessment then they may close down the appointment as a no show.
Do you have a letter from your doctor stating that you suffer from Overwhelming Psychological Distress (OPD), if you have then you may be able to request a paper assessment, especially if you have a lot of supporting evidence from support workers, CPN's, psychologist.
