Welfare Reform Bill

It is not categorising someone with a health condition by reference to that condition, but by reference to the impact of it on what they can do—their ability to walk and sit, their dexterity and their cognitive functions. That is the essence of the WCA. Although we currently do not have a breakdown of the WCA outcomes, we are looking to see whether we can obtain that. Ultimately, I would seek to reassure the noble Baroness that these are important issues and they should be taken into account in the processes and protections that are in place. We need to continue to be vigilant and to engage with stakeholders on it so that if the system is not working as it should, we will look to see what can be done to fix it. That is the best way forward on this.
