QAsked by Vicky Foxcroft(Lewisham, Deptford)Asked on: 01 June 2020
Department for Work and PensionsSocial Security Benefits: Coronavirus52249
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department are taking to ensure applicants for disability benefits during the covid-19 outbreak are offered (a) a remote benefits assessment and (b) the choice between completing remote benefits assessment over the phone or on paper.
AAnswered by: Justin TomlinsonAnswered on: 04 June 2020
All face-to-face assessments for sickness and disability benefits are currently suspended in line with public health advice. We continue to complete paper-based assessments and make recommendations based on written evidence available, where possible.
Where a case cannot be progressed by a paper-based assessment, a telephone assessment will be conducted, where appropriate to do so. This decision falls to the Health Professional, rather than the individual.
1.
I not sure "rather than the individual is"
a) "Applicant or the transferred person in DLA>PIP?
b) "The decision make DWP staff?"
c) " The what is called by DWP " HC Practitioner"
2. Does the "HCP" always override the Decision Maker
and it would seem to me the Medical Evidence?
3. And MP Minster for Disabled Minister did not give any date ?
in his answer to the MP who is shadow Minister
Thank you

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems

Hi applies6
1. The individual is the claimant.
2. The HCP makes recommendations. The Decision Maker decides whether they agree. Often they do, but sometimes they don't. However, the DM is not a medical professional.
3. We have no knowledge of new dates other than the ones that were originally announced. It will come from the DWP.
