Capability to work form was created by Mockingbird61
Hi,
I have to fill in capacity for work form. I have been absent from work for 7 months I have lupus and anxiety and depression. My ultimate goal is to return to work.
I get PiP enhanced rate for one area and standard for mobility.
I just wanted some advice on the impact of this form can my employers {local council 33 years}
Dismiss me on result of this form.
I am so worried and cant stop crying.
Kind Regards
Linda

There is no reason why your employer would be aware of the assessment and its result unless you tell them yourself.
That said, prolonged absence can lead to a capability assessment by your employer which can lead to dismissal on health grounds, you should get local advice about this possibility from a union, ACAS or an advice agency.

Hi Gordon
Thanks for your reply
I had an absence review with HR and it was them who mentioned Stage 1 capability for work assessment. I though they would be involved in the process
Kind Regards

My apologies, I thought you were talking about a New Style ESA Work Capability form.
To answer your original question, this assessment is to see whether you are still able to do your job, whether you could do it with adaptions by your employer or whether it is unlikely that you will be able to return to it, in the latter's case they will be looking at whether another job may be doable or whether your employment should be terminated.
As previously advised speak to a union or local advice centre, failing that ACAS.
