uin	141726
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>Capita are paid based on the number of assessment reports completed which meet the Department’s quality standards. Decisions on entitlement to Personal Independent Payment are made by DWP Case Managers not the assessment provider. When a decision is overturned at appeal it does not necessarily mean that the original decision and the assessment report considered in the decision making process, was wrong. Often additional written evidence not available to either the DWP Case Manager or the assessor at the time of the assessment is made available.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/05/2018 16:50:28 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
