(asked on 13th October 2016) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what proportion of (a) Atos and (b) Capita personal independence payment assessments have been carried out in the applicant's home in the most recent period for which figures are available.
This question was answered on 19th October 2016
Atos has delivered just under 1 in 5 of its assessments at claimants’ homes while Capita has delivered just under 3 in 5 for the same period (January to September 2016).
Capita has chosen to develop a business model which delivers more home visits - although this is not a contractual requirement. Atos’ business model is more assessment centre based.
