Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of the work capability assessment in supporting disabled people into work; and if he will make a statement.
We have responded to a range of recommendations from five Independent Reviews.
In addition, we have consulted through the Work and Health Green Paper how we might improve the assessment process, and how we can use information more effectively to support this group in the future.
