Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what recent steps he has taken to progress the implementation of the recommendations of the Social Security Advisory Committee in its Occasional Paper 25: how DWP involves disabled people when developing or evaluating programmes that affect them following its publication in March 2021.
We responded to the Committee’s report in July, accepting two of the recommendations in full and one partially. We are progressing with the improvements to the accessibility of our services noted in our response. We continue to put the voice of disabled people at the centre of our policy making and the design of our services.
