Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many veterans in receipt of (a) an armed forces compensation scheme guaranteed income payment and (b) the war pension scheme unemployability supplement have undertaken a work capability assessment to prove their entitlement to the housing element of universal credit in each year for which information is available.

The Work Capability Assessment is not a condition of entitlement to housing costs within Universal Credit.
