disability assessments

Disability assessments evaluate how a health condition affects a person’s ability to perform daily activities and work. Healthcare professionals or authorized assessors review medical evidence, conduct examinations if needed, and consider factors like mobility, cognition, or communication. The goal is to determine the level of disability and any ongoing support or benefits the individual may be entitled to. These assessments help ensure that support is appropriate to each person’s specific needs, balancing medical factors with the practical impact of the condition on their life.
