question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what account his Department takes of (a) actual and (b) potential changes in the level of disability when deciding whether the 60 per cent disablement threshold has been met for the purposes of Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/04/2023 answer text <p>There is no minimum or maximum period after the administration of any vaccine at which the level of disability caused by that vaccine can be assessed for the purposes of a payment under the vaccine damage payment scheme (VDPS), although claims must be made on or before the date on which the disabled person turns 21 years old, or six years on from the date of the vaccination, whichever is later. The VDPS assessment of disablement looks across the whole period during which the claimant has suffered and is expected to suffer, based on all the medical evidence available, not just disablement at a particular point in time. This means that in some cases, even where there have been serious short-term symptoms, over the whole assessment period it may be that the disablement does not meet the 60% threshold.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield grouped question UIN 181802 question first answered 25/04/2023 11:27:49 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield previous answer version 70712 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/03/2023 answer text <p>The 60% disablement threshold used for the Vaccine Damage Payment Scheme (VDPS) is aligned to the definition of ‘severe disablement’ as per the Department for Work and Pensions’ Industrial Injuries Disablement Benefit. This is a widely accepted test of disability. In the case that an individual’s application is turned down on the basis of disability threshold, there is also the option for claimants to appeal the decision and provide additional evidence. There are no plans to align the disablement threshold for the VDPS with the England Infected Blood Support Scheme.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 23/03/2023 12:58:41 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield previous answer version 64330 answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
