The answers given to a variety of seemingly innocent and innocuous questions posed within a WCA can have a very precise interpretation by Atos and/or DWP. Some examples are:
Visiting a supermarket | ability to walk unaided, without pain or exhaustion for 800m+ |
Driving a car for 10 – 15 minutes | ability to self-propel in a wheelchair 200m+ without pain or exhaustion |
Walking 30m | ability to walk 60m on the basis of 30m outbound + 30m return journey |
Use a bus | ability to stand in a queue for 30+ mins |
Watch films on TV | ability to sit continuously for 90+ mins |
Watch soaps on TV | ability to sit continuously for 30 mins. |
Holiday to Cornwall | ability to sit for 3 hours at least |
Appointment 30 mins late | sat in the waiting room continuously for 30 mins |
