* Through the assessment process you will ask focused questions, use active listening and critical reasoning skills to gather accurate information.
* Produce high quality, structured clinical reports on all claimants you assess, for submission to the DWP.
* Review evidence, request and evaluate additional evidence when required and clinically triage cases to determine the correct assessment pathway.
