Introduction
Assessing the employability of an insured is one of the main issues to be resolved in claims made pursuant to income protection and total and permanent disability (TPD) policies of insurance.
Assessing employability accurately and reliably requires a number of distinct fields of expertise working closely together.
Fields of expertise that are often involved in an assessment of employability may include:
- Assessing the loss of physical capacity for work
- Assessing the loss of psychological capacity for work
- Assessing work relevant work history, educational background and training
- Assessing the level of activity in accessible labour markets
- Assessing the earnings of identified work options
