Written answers

Since the lifting of the restrictions on the 28/02/22, the Medical Review and Assessment Service of the Department has planned to resume in-person assessments which are scheduled for the week starting 21/03/2022.

During the pandemic, my Department continued to service the customers of Disablement Benefit Scheme by conducting Desk Assessments where appropriate.

I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
