Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what representations he has received on requiring parents with multiple children diagnosed with the same medical condition to fill in a disability living allowance application for each child; and if he will bring forward proposals to require such parents to fill in only one application for all their children.

Our central records do not show that any representations have been made that parents should only have to fill in one application form for their children, Claims to benefits are individual, need may be different for different children at different stages of their illness. We have no plans to change current arrangements.
