Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, with reference to the document, Mortality Statistics: Employment and Support Allowance, Incapacity Benefit or Severe Disablement Allowance, published August 2015, if he will review the operation of the Work Capability Assessment.

We are committed to ensuring the WCA operates as effectively as possible. Our commitment to this is evidenced by the fact that we have conducted a Department-led review, an evidenced based review and 5 independent reviews.
