We would like to hear from disabled people who have had a
remote benefit assessment, or who have been looking for work during the
coronavirus lockdown.
In March, the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)
suspended face-to-face benefits assessments in response to the lockdown. Since
then, the DWP has carried out remote assessments, including over the phone.
We particularly want to understand disabled people’s
experiences of telephone-based assessments.
We also want to understand disabled people’s experiences of
looking for work during the pandemic.
If either of these apply to you, and you would like to share
your experience with Scope, you can do so by completing this survey.
Please note, you do not need to have attended a remote
benefit assessment and looked for work during lockdown to complete the survey.
Questions will be different depending on which situation applies to you.
We will use this survey to help inform Scope’s influencing
and campaigning on benefits and employment over the autumn.
Survey responses are anonymous. You do not need to share
your personal details unless you wish to do so.
