What does the Disability Assessor role involve?
The Functional Assessor role will involve you carrying out three client assessments per day. A typical day will see you carry out telephone, video or face‑to‑face assessments to understand how a person's disability or health condition affects their daily life. You'll listen to their experiences, ask questions and use your insights to produce a factual report to help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) determine their eligibility for benefits. That is the good news; the DWP make the final decision, you don't. Your role is to gather information and produce the report.
