The assessment considers all available evidence, including whether an activity can be performed safely to an acceptable standard repeatedly and in a reasonable time period. This principle applies to all claimants, including claimants with Parkinson’s Disease.</p><p> </p><p>Entitlement to Employment and Support Allowance is not based on an individual’s diagnosis or the nature of their particular disabling condition, but rather on the way that condition limits their ability to function. The Work Capability Assessment assesses the effects of a person’s condition on their ability to carry out a number of everyday activities.</p><p> </p><p>ESA has been designed to take full account of progressive conditions such as Parkinson’s. If an individual has a progressive health condition, the Health Care Professional takes this into consideration when providing advice to the Decision Maker.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 23/04/2018 11:33:07 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/07/2018 answer text <p>Based on the Office for Budget Responsibility’s (OBR) published policy costings, we estimate the cumulative loss to the Exchequer from the successive alcohol duty freezes and cuts from financial year 2013-14 to the current financial year 2018-19 to be around £4.0bn.
