I have already attended a Department for Work and Pensions MAP – why do I need to attend a further Medical Assessment Process (MAP) for my coal health claim?
All claimants who opt to go through the MAP procedure will have to attend a coal health claims MAP, whether or not they have attended a Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) assessment. This is because there is a respiratory specialist present during the MAP rather than a GP who carries out DWP assessments. The respiratory specialist has a more in depth knowledge of respiratory disease. The MAP assessments are also approved by the British Thoracic Society and are much more rigorous and consist of a full range of lung function tests. The results of the MAP also take into account the claimants medical records unlike the DWP assessments. I am not happy with my work history schedule If this is the case then you need to let your solicitor know. They can then alert Capita, the Department’s claims handlers, to this. Solicitors will be aware of the evidence which they are required to submit in these circumstances.
