This is a very brief blog post whose purpose it is to document Professor White’s involvement in the DWP’s work capability assessments (WCA).

It also provides further context with regard to Professor White’s involvement in the PACE trial and his subsequent statements and responses to criticisms of the quality of the PACE trial.
