Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how much her Department estimates will be saved to the public purse as a result of the £57,000 cap on individual awards under Access to Work.
Based on the published Equality Analysis in 2015, the original estimate was that the cap would free £3m pa to re-invest in the scheme. We intend to publish an updated Equality Analysis as a formal addendum to the 2015 document.
