The DWP may use an informal chair test to assess claimants' mobility before official interviews.
A former PIP assessor, Jacqueline Gozzard, has revealed that the DWP may use an informal "chair test" during assessments, observing claimants' ability to sit and stand from a chair before the official interview begins.
She said these real-time actions can reveal mobility issues not fully captured by verbal descriptions, potentially influencing eligibility or benefit levels.
The test is part of broader observational methods designed to assess actual physical ability.
Claimants are advised to be mindful of their movements in waiting areas, as behavior may be scrutinized even before the formal assessment starts.
