Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether her Department plans to commission an independent assessment of the adequacy of disability benefits rates to enable disabled people, including people with multiple sclerosis, to cover all their costs and meet their needs.

As referenced in the Government’s response to the Work and Pensions Committee report on The Cost of Living published on 8 September 2022 (HC 671), the Government does not intend to commission a review into the adequacy of disability benefit levels.
