Adjustments which the modern workplace allows

Department for Work and Pensions did not have the information requested.

Dear Department for Work and Pensions,

In a limited capability for work decision, the DWP described the modern workplace in some detail,stating that:

"...which [the modern workplace] allows for reasonable adjustments or aids as required such as for example, Allowing assistance with completion of a job application form, conducting the interview at a slow pace, asking short direct rather than long hypothetical questions, using practical rather than written tests, offering a work trial as an alternative means of assessing ability, providing training and on-going support in new tasks, adding tasks one at a time, permitting low work hours, especially at first and speaking slowly in plain jargon free English."

Please provide the evidence the DWP holds that the modern workplace functions in this way.

Yours faithfully,

Tom Evans
