Hi Blueberry Owl

I do not believe new assessors will be taking over PIP assessments. As WCA will go, DWP are talking about condition focused assessors .

Capita and Atos failed to win new contracts so I thought they were being replaced.

The article says

The successful bidders were Maximus in northern England and Scotland***; Capita in the Midlands and Wales; Serco in south-west England; Ingeus UK in London, south-east England and East Anglia; and Capita in Northern Ireland

Are these already doing PIP assessments?

Hi Blueberry Owl

The article says the new contractors are supposed to take over from September this year.

ATOS (as they were) and Capita are the two current contractors, only ATOS was unsuccessful in the new bidding process.
