The Government provides a range of benefits for people who are out of work or unable to work due to a long-term health condition.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) requires health information about people who are claiming benefits.
Capita arranges and carries out assessments on behalf of DWP. The purpose of the assessment is to understand how your health condition or disability affects your daily life. After the assessment, DWP makes the decision as to whether an individual will receive any benefits.
All our healthcare professionals have at least two years' post-qualification experience, are registered with their respective medical body and are approved by DWP.
