Work Capability Assessment
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to make changes to the Work Capability Assessment.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
The Work Capability Assessment is not working and needs to be reformed or replaced. This needs to come alongside a proper plan to support disabled people to work, which will, in turn, bring down the benefits bill.
We are taking the time to review this in the round before setting out next steps on our approach in the coming months.
