Four-way calls possible for PIP assessments
Caught sight of this in a written answer from yesterday. Timms confirms that -
‘All assessment suppliers have introduced the capacity for four-way calls for assessments. This means the claimant and the HP can be joined by a companion or advocate as well as an interpreter if required.’
I appreciate that this may not be news but nonetheless it’s good to know that any refusals to join advocates to the call relate to policy/practice rather than technical capability.
The wording in Timms’ answer suggests that it’s either an advocate or a companion that can be added to the call. I wonder if it’s possible to have both?
