Section 61 and Part II of Schedule 8 work together to achieve this reform. Section 61:
	renames the All Work Test the “Personal Capability Assessment”. This reflects the additional elements added by the section and Part II of Schedule 8, which provide that, as well as producing information for benefit purposes, about people’s incapacity,the assessment process should produce information about people’s capabilities; and thatboth kinds of information may be used for the purposes of helping people enhance their employment prospects.
	retains the existing powers for determining whether a person is “incapable of work” for the purposes of receiving incapacity benefits. The threshold of incapacity at which it would be unreasonable to require a person to work, or seek work, will be unchanged;
	enables the Personal Capability Assessment process to be started earlier, with the intention of identifying people’s needs as quickly as possible;
	makes clear that the Personal Capability Assessment may be repeated at any time throughout the duration of entitlement to benefit.
