Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the proposed cut to (a) the Universal Credit health element and (b) PIP on survivors of domestic abuse.

The information required to make such an assessment is not readily available. This is because to identify survivors of domestic abuse would require manual processing of claimant information, and the information would only be available where it is included in departmental records.
