Work Capability Assessment
"My Lords, only recently, almost half of work capability assessment appeals were successful.

Written Question
Monday 23rd June 2014
Asked by:
Baroness Uddin (Non-affiliated - Life peer)
Question
to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Freud on 14 May (WA 522), why they do not intend to ring-fence monies identified by the Independent Living Fund as needed to meet the critical and substantial needs of recipients.
Answered by Lord Freud
The Government's position on how local authorities manage their finances is clear; local authorities need to be allowed to meet their statutory responsibilities in a flexible and responsive way and the ring-fencing of funding prevents this. Allowing local authorities the flexibility to manage their budgets locally means they can respond to local needs and priorities to deliver more efficient services and better outcomes.

Question
to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many people with autismspectrum disorder currently receive support under the Independent Living Fund.
Answered by Lord Freud
It is not possible to calculate this because the Independent Living Fund's systems categorise its users by their main condition only; it is not known therefore how many users may have an autism spectrum disorder in addition to the main disability or health condition recorded.
