PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Social Security Benefits: Medical Examinations (10 July 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps her Department is taking to ensure the maintenance of access to services in the event that a contracted assessment centre is rendered temporarily inaccessible.

Asked by:
Darren Jones (Labour)

Where customers are not able to access an assessment at one of our assessment centres due to the centre being temporarily inaccessible, assessment providers will provide an alternative method of delivering the service. For example, they may arrange an appointment at an alternative nearby assessment centre or arrange a home visit.
