Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the policy paper entitled Transforming Support: The Health and Disability White Paper, published on 15 March 2023, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing additional financial support to people assessed to have limited capability for work-related activity for Universal Credit but who are not entitled to the Personal Independence Payment.

We will put protections in place to ensure that no one experiences financial loss at the point at which the reform is enacted. For the group who receive the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity payment, but not Personal Independence Payment, there will be transitional protection at the point that they move to the new system.
