<p>Healthcare Professionals are encouraged to take as much time as they need during
an assessment to fully understand the impact of a claimant’s condition on their everyday
life. In order to provide an assessment report that is medically justified and accurate,
a Health Professional must undertake extensive questioning to establish how the claimant
is impacted by their condition. Depending on the health condition or impairment, assessments
may also include a physical examination, sight, hearing and any other tests deemed
relevant. This is a comprehensive functional assessment which is tailored to the individual
needs of the claimant and as such, there are no time limits set on the duration.</p>
