Work Capability Assessment
(asked on 30th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many incapacity benefit claimants died during or after their work capability assessment in each of the last two years.
This question was answered on 6th November 2014
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
The Department does monitor requests we receive for new statistics and consider whether we can produce and release analysis that will helpfully inform public debate. The Department is therefore looking at this issue with a view to seeing what statistics could be produced on a regular basis.
