Disability & Work Capacity Benefits Support

Thanks to the Legal Education Foundation, Comic Relief and Neon Tribe, SeAp has created and developed a new web app called [c-App] that offers guidance, advice and support on most aspects of the application process for people applying for Employment Support Allowance (ESA) and Personal Independent Payment (PIP).


SeAp has provided independent advocacy support to people going through what used to be DLA and Incapacity Benefit but is now PIP and ESA, and they have a 100% success rate when supporting people to challenge a decision when they disagreed with the decision the assessors had made. They understand that people who have an upcoming medical assessment or who are filling in the forms can feel nervous, sometimes reluctant or unsure of how to describe the extent to which they can be debilitated by their conditions. Combined with the stress of having to undertake a medical assessment and all the things that need to be remembered along with this, it can mean that assessors often don't get an accurate idea of what the person's situation is really like.

That's why they have created c-App. Two free web-apps, one for ESA and one for PIP that offer guidance, advice and support on most aspects of the application process. You can even try the sort of questions you may be asked by an assessor.
