The job of a claims assessor is to assume the responsibility of underwriting disability claims, managing them, assessing the claims and approving or denying them based on the evidence presented in their paperwork. As a disability claims assessor, you have the power to approve or veto any claim that comes through your desk based on a number of factors. This is where your heart and mind come into play. You may be confronted with a situation where a person has become severely disabled completely keeping them from doing any sort of work for at least a 12 month period, if not for good; however, their employers have not paid enough into social security on their behalf long enough to warrant any sort of financial support from the government, so therefore you must deny their claim.
