The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she has made an assessment of the potential impact of changes to personal independence payments on blind and partially blind people.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

Information on the impacts of the Pathways to Work Green Paper will be published in due course, and some information was published alongside the Spring Statement. These publications can be found in ‘Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper’.

A further programme of analysis to support development of the proposals in the Green Paper will be developed and undertaken in the coming months.
