Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many people have been waiting for more than (a) three, (b) four, (c) five, (d) six and (e) 12 months from the time they applied for additional help from universal credit for limited capability for work to the time they (i) were offered an assessment appointment and (ii) received a decision as of 25 April 2022; and what the average time is that people are waiting to (A) be offered an assessment appointment and (B) receive a decision.

Information on wait times for Universal Credit Work Capability Assessments is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
