PCA soon or is it?

[Mrmagoooo]

I'm due for the process of determining whether I need a PCA soon, well at the end of August. I have read that they're going to start testing IB claimants using the WCA from October. The trials start in Oct and the main tests begin in February.

 

Last time I went through the PCA process it took about three months until I was finally called for a medical. I imagine given the current climate it may be faster this time, however, are they even bother to assess IB claimants under the PCA anymore? It is likely they'll just wait until they can assess me under the WCA?

 

I wouldn't like to go through the PCA at the end of the year, only to be called for a WCA in Feburuary. I guess this is a question no one here can answer but I'm curious to know what you think may happen.

 

I'd rather not ring the DWP and start questioning them about this as I don't want to hasten the whole process.

The migration of IB to ESA will begin in 2 trial areas in October - these are Aberdeen and Burnley. If the coalition stick to the timetable set when the previous lot were in, the national roll-out will begin in February 2011. The latest from the coalition is that they're sticking to the timetable as set when zanu-labour were in.

 

My PCA is already 3 months overdue which has led me to ponder the same question; I.e. are they waiting for the WCA to come into play before calling me again?, or, PCA followed by a WCA? I won't tempt fate by phoning the DWP.
