Advo Health is the largest and leading subcontractor in government health assessments. Carried out by our community of experienced healthcare professionals throughout the UK, these independent assessments help the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to understand how a health condition or disability is affecting a claimant’s daily life. This ensures that the system is fair and that those who are most in need of help and support receive it.
