question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether British citizens returning from a period living in another EU country are fully entitled immediately to receive (a) NHS treatment, (b) access to public funds and (c) a full state pension.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/12/2016 answer text <p>Access to free NHS treatment by British citizens returning here after living in another EU country depends on whether they intend to live here permanently. Their access to public funds depends on the type of benefit claimed and, for most income-related benefits, whether they are habitually resident in this country or the Common Travel Area. The state pension is contribution-based and the amount payable depends on the individual’s National Insurance record. Those already in receipt of the state pension when they return would continue to receive this at the same rate.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 15/12/2016 16:37:32 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how frequently a person with a (a) multiple sclerosis and (b) another degenerative disease should be required to attend an assessment in connection with their claim for (i) employment and support allowance and (ii) personal independence payment.
tabling member constituency	East Ham

uin	13629
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/10/2015 answer text <p>The Work Capability Assessment (WCA) assesses individuals against a set of functional descriptors not specific conditions, as two people with the same condition can be affected in different ways. This does however take account of how fluctuating and degenerative conditions, such multiple sclerosis, affect a claimant’s ability to work.</p><br /><p>A healthcare professional gives advice on when they think a claimants functional capability may have changed sufficiently to trigger a change in the outcome of the WCA. Re-referral dates chosen can be 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 or 36 months depending on when it is considered most appropriate for the claimant to have their next contact with the Department.</p><br /><p>Decisions on claims to Personal Independence Payment are made by case managers and are based on advice received from the assessment providers following an assessment, together with any other evidence received. People with a progressive condition, and who are not expected to live beyond six months, are not required to attend a face-to-face assessment and their claims will always be decided on the basis of the evidence received.</p><br /><p>Claims to Personal Independence Payment are looked at individually, considering the impact on daily living and mobility of the impairment or health condition, rather than solely basing the decision on the impairment or health condition itself. Award durations and reviews are based on an assessment of whether the individual’s functional abilities are likely to deteriorate, improve or stay the same. Reviews ensure that claimants continue to receive the appropriate level of award throughout their claim, including claimants with degenerative conditions who may get a higher award at review to reflect a deterioration in their condition.</p><br /> answering member constituency Witham answering member printed Priti Patel grouped question UIN 13626 question first answered 30/10/2015 14:11:04 answering member 4066 label Biography information for Priti Patel
