Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps she plans to take through the tax system to help reduce the number of disabled and sick people in poverty in Surrey Heath constituency.

Support for disabled people is predominantly provided through the welfare system, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP) which can be worth over £9,500 a year to assist with extra costs individuals may face. Focusing support through the welfare system ensures those who earn below the Personal Allowance tax threshold fully benefit

The Government is also investing £1 billion a year in employment support for disabled people by 2029-30. This will help disabled people enter and succeed in work, boosting their income.
