Written question asked by Michael Meacher (Labour) on Thursday, 30 October 2014, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Thursday, 6 November 2014 (named day). It was answered by Lord Harper (Conservative) on Thursday, 6 November 2014 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.
Work Capability Assessment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many incapacity benefit claimants died during or after their work capability assessment in each of the last two years.
- Answer
-
The information requested is not readily available and to provide it would incur disproportionate cost.
The Department does monitor requests we receive for new statistics and consider whether we can produce and release analysis that will helpfully inform public debate. The Department is therefore looking at this issue with a view to seeing what statistics could be produced on a regular basis.
