Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what local authority support will be available to current Independent Living Fund users in 2015–16.
Local Authorities have a statutory duty to assess and fund the eligible care needs of all disabled people.
The funding that would have been allocated to the ILF in 2015/16 to support its users from July 2015 onwards will all be transferred to local authorities in England and to the devolved administrations in other parts of the UK.
