Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment he has made of the number of Independent Living Fund users whose support has been (a) reduced and (b) removed entirely following the transfer of responsibility for that Fund to local authorities.
This question was answered on 9th July 2015
The potential implications of closing the Independent Living Fund are set out clearly in the Equality Analysis published on 6 March 2014.
As a part of the Equality Analysis we made a commitment to monitor the actual impact of the closure of the ILF on former users of the ILF. Planning for this has already begun.
