Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what analysis they have undertaken into the accessibility needs of disabled people due to undergo the managed migration process as part of the move to Universal Credit.

The Department is committed to ensuring that all claimants are fully supported during the managed migration process. We are currently working closely with a large and diverse range of stakeholders, including those supporting disabled people, to design processes that work for everyone and most effectively support those who will need help during migration.

We have said that we will begin managed migration on a small scale in 2019 to pilot our processes and ensure that they are working, adapting them and building on feedback before we begin to take on larger volumes of claimants.
