Social Security Benefits: Medical Examinations
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, under what circumstances a decision-maker is required to order new a) work capability and b) personal independence payment assessments under Right to Try regulations.
Answered by Sir Stephen Timms
This Government is committed to giving disabled people and people with health conditions the confidence that working will not trigger a reassessment and a potential loss of benefits.
Under the Right to Try regulations, staff cannot order a new Work Capability Assessment or Personal Independence Payment assessment solely because a claimant has started paid or voluntary work.
