Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many employment and support allowance (ESA) claimants with (a) chronic disabilities and (b) illnesses were declared fit to work and had their ESA payments stopped in each month of (i) 2013, (ii) 2014, (iii) 2015 and (iv) 2016 to date.
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
