Health-related Benefits Assessments

Contribution

My Lords, face-to-face assessments are an important part of our multichannel approach. For some individuals, they are the best way for us to understand the impacts of their health condition or disability, and they can help boost public confidence in the health assessment system. This Government are committed to increasing the number of face-to-face assessments while acknowledging that remote assessments also have a role.
