Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what assessment the Government has made of the effect of taxing or means-testing of disability living allowance and personal independence payment claims on people with multiple sclerosis.
This question was answered on 16th July 2015
No such assessment has been made. My Rt. Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, made clear in his summer budget on 8 July that the Government has no plans to tax or means-test disability benefits [Official Report, column 333].
