I confirm that the person concerned has made an application for Partial Capacity Benefit (PCB) on 22 June 2022. The PCB scheme allows a person who has been in receipt of Invalidity Pension or Illness Benefit (the latter for a minimum of 26 weeks), and who may not have full capacity for work, to enter or return to employment or self-employment and continue to receive a partial or full payment.
This application has been referred for a medical assessment, and when the Medical Assessor's report has been received a decision will be made on the claim and the person concerned will be notified directly in writing.
I trust this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
