Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people receiving the enhanced level of PIP did not score four points in any of the ten descriptors allowing someone else to receive carers allowance in (a) Blyth and Ashington constituency, (b) Northumberland, (c) the North East and (d) England.

Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper will be published in due course, with some information published alongside the Spring Statement. These publications can be found in ‘Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper’.

A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
