We have been awarded a new contract to provide functional health and disability assessments for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) in South East England, London, and East Anglia. This new service is set to launch in 2024 and will run for five years.
This contract replaces the current multi-provider setup with a single health and disability assessment provider in each area of the country, bringing together Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Health and Disability Assessment Services (HDAS) contracts into one comprehensive service to deliver functional health and disability assessments for all benefits that require one.
As an experienced healthcare practitioner, you have invaluable transferable skills such as critical analysis and logical thinking.
