Are the assessors incentivised to award zero points?

BlindBat

genuine question. I’ve not even had my assessment yet but I’ve read so many accounts of people saying the assessors reports contain inaccuracies (in words stronger than that!) even when the assessment was recorded that it makes me wonder why?

Could it be that the assessors are incentivised to score low? Does anyone know?

No one could ever confirm that to be honest. Even if that was their intention ( I’m not saying it is, just an assumption) they would never volunteer that information as they would be sued endlessly.

It's more likely down to poor judgement and assumptions, which is still absolutely wrong.

I've always said assessments should be performed by an expert in that particular claimants problems.

That sadly won't happen though.
