If my GP / my nursing home has assessed that I am disabled, why do I still need to visit an accredited GP for assessment?
Not all GPs would have undergone the rigorous training programme to learn how to assess disability. A trained, accredited severe disability assessor will be able to assess whether you meet the claims criteria of being unable to perform 3 or more of the 6 ADLs.
If you are staying in a nursing home, you may approach your nursing home for assistance to submit the Resident Assessment Form in place of the severe disability assessment.
