Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 28 November 2022 to Question 94811 on Employment Services: Disability, what the (a) total caseload and (b) average caseload per disability employment adviser has been in each year since 2018.

This data is not available because Disability Employment Advisers (DEAs) do not have caseloads. DEAs support Work Coaches by providing expert knowledge on how to support disabled customers, building the skills and capability of Work Coaches, and influencing employer engagement in local communities. DEA’s can also directly support customers with a health condition or disability where additional support can benefit the customer. Direct support is determined by local need.
