Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will continue employment and support allowance payments while mandatory reconsideration decisions are being processed; and will he make a statement.
Employment and Support Allowance, in common with all other benefits, is not paid during the Mandatory Reconsideration period as there are no legal grounds to make a payment of Employment and Support Allowance at this time.
