Work Capability Assessment WCA How to complete the form Pt 11 Mental and Cognitive Funtions

In this series of videos I talk you through, step by step, how to complete the dreaded Work Capability Assessment (WCA) with tips on how to think about your health condition, how to write it and what the pitfalls are.
As a bit of a change to my usual format I have divided this up into sections so each video has links to the next part at the end or you can access it as a playlist from my channel - or search on the WCA question and it should come up with the appropriate video.

I agree with the alarm clock. Scenario, my daughter ia autistic and has severe GAD and panic disorder, she can set an alarm clock if I show her how.. but.. She wont remember to do it, won't even think to do it. So thats a No, she cant do a simple instruction reliably.

If your application is based on mental health alone, must the earlier part of the form be filled in?

[@StuartMcGoo]

Fill in as much as you can that is relevant, but if a section isn't relevant you can leave it blank and they will assume you have no issues in that area. Make sure to tick the boxes on each question though.

I've just had my esa review form come through. I have autism but I've developed long covid since my last assessment which I've had for over 4 years. My symptoms vary wildly from day to day, week to week, so how would I best convey this on the form?

Give details of both ends of the variability spectrum and everything in between.
