Publisher's Synopsis
Up to 9000 or more attendance allowance medical examinations are carried out in Britain every week and recent years have seen the examination become the focus of some criticism. This report discusses the findings of research carried out to measure the attitudes of claimants towards the attendance allowance medical examination. The study has tested the feasibility of adopting a postal survey method to monitor consumers' views, and has enabled a reliable indication of the degree of satisfaction with the medical examination to be achieved in two social security regions, as well as the nature and extent of any problems existing.
