	uin	203807
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2014 answer text There are no formal targets in place for increasing the number of women who participate in the New Enterprise Allowance scheme. Latest statistics show that since the launch of NEA in 2011 to the end of March 2014, there were 46,000 allowance claims, of which 15,720 were from women. The weekly allowance is payable when the participant closes their claim to benefits and commences trading. The rate of take up of NEA by women is approximately one third of the total. This is consistent with the proportion of women claiming Jobseeker's Allowance (the benefit claimed by the majority of NEA participants), demonstrating the success of the scheme in attracting all groups to access this support. answering member constituency Wirral West answering member printed Esther McVey question first answered 09/07/2014 15:14:52 answering member 4084 label Biography information for Esther McVey

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether a claimant refused Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) by a decision maker on the grounds that their health had improved by the time of the decision, having obtained sufficient points to receive ESA in an earlier Work Capability Assessment, should be paid ESA in arrears for the period of their ill health; and if he will make a statement.
	tabling member constituency	East Ham
	tabling member printed	Stephen Timms
	uin	208797
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2014 answer text An Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) claimant will be paid at the assessment rate until a determination is made about their eligibility for the benefit. DWP Decision Makers make the final decision and as such no claimant will have obtained any points before the Decision Maker awards points as appropriate against the work capability assessment descriptors. Where an ESA claimant’s health improves to the extent that they are no longer entitled to the benefit, ESA will be paid at the appropriate rate up until the date of change. This is not a payment of arrears but the continuing amount rightly due. ESA claimants are expected to notify the Department when their condition improves to the extent that they are likely to no longer be eligible for ESA. answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 12/09/2014 11:10:23 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
