answer text <p>Claimants are advised to submit any evidence that they have. If the Department or its assessment providers require further evidence, including any supporting medical evidence, they will request it directly from the clinician or other professionals involved in the claimant’s care. All Health Professionals are subject to on-going audit by our assessment providers to ensure that they deliver high quality assessments, including the appropriate use of further evidence. The Department also undertakes independent audit to ensure that the advice provided to the Department’s decision makers is of suitable quality, fully explained and justified.</p> more like this
