Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Justin Tomlinson and Andrew Bridgen

Monday 7th January 2019 Commons Chamber

[Justin Tomlinson]

I know that the hon. Lady has worked tirelessly on this issue. The Government recognise its importance, which is why we have increased our financial support by nearly 50% since 2010. We are making improvements specifically in relation to payment in arrears, improving communication and ensuring that the Flexible Support Fund is better known and better used to help those who would otherwise face a financial barrier.

[Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire) (Con)]

Can the Minister confirm that parents with disabled children will continue to receive additional support under universal credit?

[Justin Tomlinson]

Yes.
