The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to reform the Work Capability Assessment.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

The government is committed to reforming or replacing the Work Capability Assessment, alongside putting in place a proper plan to support disabled people into work. We will say more about this in due course.

We will continue to engage with stakeholders to keep the views of disabled people and people with health conditions at the heart of what we do, as we consider our next steps.
