Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether employees of the Health Assessment Advisory Service receive a monetary bonus for each claimant they find fit for work.

Assessment Providers do not decide the outcome of a claim to benefit. They provide a report to the department’s decision makers who then determine entitlement to benefit. Employees of the Health Assessment Advisory Service do not have incentives or targets linked to the outcome of benefit entitlement decisions.
