Welfare Reform Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Meacher (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Debate on bills on Welfare Reform Bill.
The noble Lord has indicated that I was right and that the assessments focus on capabilities rather than the condition and that therefore he does not have an analysis of the conditions. The worry is that if the focus of the assessments is on different capabilities for work rather than, say, on a person’s schizophrenia, and if on the day the person appears to have all the capabilities, it will be easy to miss the fact that they are suffering from a fluctuating disorder. That is the essence of my concern.
