What is a Clinical Assessor?

Clinical Assessors, often referred to as Disability Assessors or PIP Assessors, use their clinical expertise to evaluate individuals with long-term health conditions. We conduct both telephone and face-to-face assessments to assess how these conditions impact daily living. Our detailed reports help inform DWP decisions.
