Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people with Parkinson's disease have had employment and support allowance cancelled after 12 months without undergoing a work capability assessment; and if he will make a statement.
Between October 2008 and September 2015 there were fewer than 50 individuals, whose main disabling condition was recorded as Parkinson’s disease, who stopped receiving Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) after twelve months and did not have a completed Work Capability Assessment.
