Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many requests from his Department for evidence to inform a personal independence payment assessment were (a) made and (b) responded to by GPs and other professionals in each year since the introduction of the personal independence payment; and what the professional discipline was that each of those requests were made to.
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
