Written question asked by Stephanie Peacock (Labour) on Friday, 14 January 2022, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 19 January 2022 (named day). It was answered by Chloe Smith (Conservative) on Wednesday, 19 January 2022 on behalf of the Department for Work and Pensions.

Social Security Benefits: Barnsley East

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what estimate he has made of the number of people in Barnsley East constituency who have been affected by the underpayment of benefits after transitioning from incapacity benefit to employment and support allowance.

Answer: The Department published an update on the exercise to correct past ESA underpayments on Gov.uk on 8 July 2021. This reported that as of 1 June 2021, of the 600,000 cases checked, 118,000 arrears payments have been made totalling £613 million. This report showed the numbers of cases paid arrears at a national level only as the data was not available at sub-national level at that time. The Department is investigating the feasibility of providing this analysis at a constituency level.
