    Default job background
    Description

    As a Disability Assessor you will embark on a rewarding career, utilising your core skills as a healthcare professional in an entirely different way.

    You will undertake clinical assessments for customers who are making a claim for the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), however, within the paper-based team you will not be required to meet with customers face-to-face.

    You will need to take into account all of the information presented including any supporting evidence (e.g. the customer's completed questionnaire and information from GPs or other health professionals).

    This report will contain a detailed history of the customer's condition(s) including information gathered on their current medication and treatment, the functional impact of their health condition or impairment and your opinion on the impact this has on their daily living and mobility.

    You will provide a full justification explaining how you came to these conclusions from the evidence gathered and define the probable timescales over which a health condition or impairment may affect the customer.
