Stephen Kinnock – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Kinnock on 2016-07-07.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether his Department carried out an assessment prior to the introduction of personal independence payments for existing disability living allowance recipients of the effect of that introduction on advice services such as Citizens Advice Bureaux.

Justin Tomlinson

No specific such assessment was carried out.

Citizens Advice Bureaux have been, and continue to be, members of the Personal Independence Payment Implementation Stakeholder Forum and regularly engage with the Department on PIP issues.
