Disability Assessment

Atos Healthcare provides independent medical advice to the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). We conduct disability assessments for people claiming a range of disability benefits including Employment Support Allowance, Incapacity Benefit, Disability Living Allowance, and Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit.

Each year Atos Healthcare process over 1.2 million referrals for medical advice completing over 800,000 face to face medical assessments within our nationwide network of over 140 medical examination centres.

Some things to keep in mind concerning your assessment.

All our 1700+ healthcare professionals are fully trained to undertake disability assessments, are registered with the General Medical Council or the Nursing and Midwifery Council, and approved by the Chief Medical Adviser to the DWP.

Our performance is measured each month against key performance indicators that include the quality of medical reports as well as claimant satisfaction.

Through the introduction of the new Employment and Support Allowance, we work closely with the DWP to support its agenda of 'Work for those who can and support for those who cannot'.
