(a)whether or not the claimant has limited capability for work;

(b)whether or not the claimant is to be treated as having limited capability for work otherwise than in accordance with this regulation; or

(2) The conditions are—

(a)that the claimant provides evidence of limited capability for work in accordance with the Medical Evidence Regulations; and

(b)in relation to the claimant’s entitlement to any benefit, allowance or advantage which is dependent on the claimant having limited capability for work, it has not been determined—

(i)in the last determination preceding the date of claim for an employment and support allowance, that the claimant does not have limited capability for work, or

(ii)within the 6 months preceding the date of claim for an employment and support allowance, that the claimant is to be treated as not having limited capability for work under regulation 18 or 19,

unless paragraph (4) applies.

(3) Paragraph (2)(b) does not apply where a claimant has made and is pursuing an appeal against a relevant decision of the Department, and that appeal has not yet been determined by an appeal tribunal.

(4) This paragraph applies where—

(a)the claimant is suffering from some specific disease or bodily or mental disablement from which the claimant was not suffering at the time of that determination;

(b)a disease or bodily or mental disablement from which the claimant was suffering at the time of that determination has significantly worsened; or

(5) In this regulation a “relevant decision” means—

(a)a decision that embodies the first determination by the Department that the claimant does not have limited capability for work; or
