Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government how many people have received noise-cancelling headphones through Access to Work in each of the past five years, and what is the average cost of those headphones.

Details of the specific special aides/equipment an individual claims payment for is stored as descriptive free-text information and would require manual examination of individual applications to analyse and to provide it would incur a disproportionate cost.
