Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 January 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Welfare Reform Bill.
Welfare Reform Bill
One of the problems that will doubtless emerge is that different assessors, even in the same locality, will have a different view of how to score particular types of disability and whether people qualify for the support benefit. That is true of any system, but it is particularly acute in a new system, when many people’s judgments are up in the air, and people worry about whether they have been more harshly treated than others. What will the Minister do to try to ensure greater consistency of judgment and greater clarity on how to score?
