Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what her Department’s target is in weeks, for determining Change of Conditions applications made by destitute families with no recourse to public funds.

No service standards apply to the assessment of whether the applicant qualifies for a change of condition code, but caseworkers will make reasonable efforts to decide such requests promptly, especially those involving a child or an applicant who is street homeless, disabled or otherwise in vulnerable circumstances.
