Health Assessment Advisory Service 'HAAS'

From September 2024, all PIP assessments will be delivered under a new service, Health Assessment Advisory Service 'HAAS'. This will bring together all functional health assessment services within a geographical area under a single provider in each region. This means claimants will only need to deal with one provider for the assessment of their health condition or disability.

All PIP Disability Assessors (regardless of the supplier) will transition to deliver PIP assessments under the new HAAS service when it goes live in September. This transition brings a few differences:

There will be new elements introduced to our ways of working, including a more structured approach to assessors' workdays and a new rota system to support a healthier work/life balance.

Coaching, mentoring, and apprenticeships providing the opportunity to gain formal qualifications.
Additional training to equip assessors with the necessary skills and knowledge for the new service.
A redesigned reward system to ensure colleagues are paid fairly for the work they do, and that we benchmark accurately against other suppliers.

What we hope you'll do next:
