Am I exempt from the work capability assessment because I am on DLA ?

Hi d54,

Unfortunately the answer is "No".

If you are currently in receipt of IB, IS or SDA as well as DLA, you may wish to have a look at :

The Transfer Process

Who will be transferred?

From our : IB, IS, SDA, Migration to ESA FAQ’s

Even if it was a fresh claim for ESA, and not a transfer, being in receipt of either component of DLA, at any rate, does not give exemption from the ESA WCA either.
