Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 17 October 2018 to 178277, what support his Department provides to claimants suffering multiple epileptic seizures on a weekly basis to gain and sustain employment; and what guidance his Department provides to employers on ensuring that people with epilepsy are supported in the workplace.

We support disabled people, including those with epilepsy, to enter employment through initiatives like the Work and Health Programme and Personal Support Package. We also offer extensive, personalised support to new and existing disabled workers through Access to Work.

In addition, we engage with employers through Disability Confident. The scheme, developed by disabled people, employers and disability organisations, encourages employers to think differently about disability and to take action to improve how they attract, recruit and retain disabled employees.
