This page is about giving other information which does not fit anywhere else on the form.
You can use extra sheets of paper if there’s not enough space in the box. Attach them to your capability for work questionnaire, and include your name and National Insurance number.
The work capability questionnaire has changed
There’s a new version of the work capability questionnaire - you should fill in and send back the version you’ve been sent.
The new form asks for the same information about your condition, but the questions are worded differently and in a different order.
Make sure you write the question number from your form next to any extra information you're including.
If someone helped you fill in the form
If someone helped you fill in the form, it’s important to say this. Use the box to explain:
who did it - for example a family member, a carer or adviser
why you asked them for help
how they helped you
How filling in the form made you feel
If filling in the form caused you pain, it’s important to tell the DWP. Use the box to explain the type of pain and how long it lasted.
You should also explain if filling in the form made you anxious or stressed.
If you’re including medical evidence
If you’re sending medical evidence, make sure you list the documents you’re including. Get more help with this in the “medical evidence” part of the form.
