Via the Disability Benefits Consortium, Amelia Gentleman from the Guardian is looking for individuals either currently receiving Incapacity Benefit and about to be assessed for ESA, or claiming ESA for the first time, to follow as they apply for ESA. In particular she is keen to identify people who are at risk of being classed as fit for work under the new test and referred to JSA, for example, individuals with a visual impairment or wheelchair users. She is hoping to follow individuals over time perhaps talking to them at a couple of points to measure the impact of being told they are fit for work.

If you think you can help, or have any further questions, please contact Amelia on .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address), T: 020 3353 2206, M: 078 5417 3210.
