Mr. Goodman: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assumptions have been made in the Government's medium-term
forecasts in his Department's benefit expenditure tables with regard to the number of invalidity benefit claimants returning to work
through the (a) the new deal for disabled people and (b) pathways to work in relation to (i) the number of recipients
of invalidity benefit, severe disablement allowance and income support and (ii) expenditure from 2003-04 to 2007-08 on invalidity
benefit, severe disablement allowance and income support for sick and disabled people. [223381]
Maria Eagle :[holding answer 22 March 2005]: Future impacts of the new deal for disabled people and the pathways to work
pilots are implicitly included in the forecasts of incapacity benefit (which replaced invalidity benefit in 1995), severe
disablement allowance and income support recipients and expenditure included in the Department's benefit expenditure tables, which
were published at the pre-Budget report.
It is assumed that the impact of these policies, as far as they have affected the past flows on and off of benefit, will continue
largely as observed in the past. As it is difficult to isolate the past impact of these policies separately from other factors which
might have affected flows on and off of benefit, it is not possible to make explicit assumptions about their specific impact on the
forecasts.
The further roll-out of pathways to work in the future is not factored into the forecasts as it will not have affected recent
trends.
Revised expenditure forecasts, underpinning the Budget report, will be published during April.

Barbara Follett: To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what assessment his Department has made of the merits of
extending mortgage assistance to those on incapacity benefit. [224432]
Maria Eagle: The Government believes that homeowners should take responsibility for ensuring that mortgage payments are made when
they are unable to work.
Help with mortgage interest is already available to those on incapacity benefit, who are also entitled to income related benefits.
We believe that this is the best way of ensuring assistance is targeted at those who need it most.
We have no plans to extend this assistance to non income-related benefits.
