Not sure if this article is correct, but it states Inspire Health Alliance workers will do the interviews:

The article makes it sound like the lifetime ban for guests who lie about disabilities is something new. It WAS prominently displayed on the WDW and DL disabilities webpages in large type for a few days after the announcement was made on April 9 that
DAS was changing. After a few days, it was removed from the front page.
That language is not new. It was and still is on the DAS FAQs on the Disney websites and also in the terms and conditions that guests need to accept before beginning the video chat for DAS.
Those Terms and Conditions were always part of the process for DAS application in person from when DAS began in 2013. It was also on the GAC (Guest Assistance Card), the program before DAS.
"If it is determined that any of the statements a Guest made in the process of obtaining DAS are not true, the Guest will be permanently barred from entering Walt Disney World Resort and the
Disneyland Resort, and any previously purchased Annual Passes , Magic Key passes, tickets and other park products and services will be forfeited and not refunded."
Disney's original announcement said they were
partnering with Inspire Health. This article and several others made the leap from partnering for the accessibility program to doing the registration.
Not exactly. Disney has partnered with Inspire Health to help train the new team who will be handling DAS registrations. It will be Disney CMs actually on the chats.
Agree with lanejudy. I've seen emails that multiple people have received from Disney indicating that a new team, called Accessibility Services has been set up to handle DAS Registration and other accessibility program components. Disney has said Disney CMs will be doing the chats, with training and consultation with Inspire Health
It says if "“if it is determined that any of the statements a guest made in the process of obtaining DAS are not true" How would Disney know because they don't want any guest's medical information.
NOTE PLEASE I am not encouraging anyone to cheat.
Just wondering how, unless someone is dumb enough to tell a CM, "Hey, I really don't have ______ condition. I faked it in order to get DAS.".
People may not be dumb enough to directly tell the CM on the chat, but people have been posting videos and blogs basically saying "this is what I did to register for DAS WITHOUT being disabled...you can too". This also includes people who are disabled, but exaggerate their needs.
It's also generally felt Disney is targeting unofficial 'tour guides' and influencers who have been using DAS for business purposes.
