Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the policy paper, Transforming Support: The Health and Disability White Paper published on 15 March 2023, what steps his Department plans to take to involve disabled people in the design of the (a) health conditionality approach and (b) the health element’ of Universal Credit.

We will continue to listen to, and to work closely with, disabled people, people with health conditions and many other partners, on how to deliver the proposals set out in The Health and Disability White Paper and reach our important shared goals.

We will also take time to test our proposals before rolling out on a wider scale.
