answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>The Personal Independence Payment assessment is not a medical assessment and there is no requirement for the Health Professional to diagnose a condition and recommend treatment options. Health Professionals are trained to be experts in disability analysis and to assess how a disability or syndrome affects the functional capability of each individual claimant. Whilst there is no specific training relating to post-polio syndrome, all Health Professionals have access to a range of resources, including relevant training on specific impairments, including those that are mental, intellectual and cognitive, as well as experienced clinicians to support them in assessing claimants with conditions that they may not be familiar with.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson grouped question UIN 284945 question first answered 06/09/2019 11:05:40 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
