Welfare Reform Bill

I am very grateful to the noble Baroness. I have been labouring on these assessments under what appears to have been a misapprehension. As I understood it, there would first be an assessment using the descriptors to decide whether the process should be taken further or whether the benefit was not appropriate for that claimant. Then there would be a second assessment about which group he should fall into—in other words, a slightly more severe test. I assumed that there would be a third test to identify the procedures that the claimant needed to undergo in order to get as close to the employment market as possible. From what the Minister said, I understand that health professionals will be used to make the assessment in the first two tests—and the Minister nods, so I am right. But what about the third test? It needs knowledge of health disability matters and employment matters. I assume that somebody else will be involved here. Perhaps the noble Baroness will give me an answer on that.
