answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/10/2018 answer text <p>In formulating Universal Credit policy for support for families with disabled children the Government’s aim was to simplify previous provision and align the lower disabled child addition with that for adults. This was in order to ensure that, for this group, the extra amounts that are payable for disability were aligned when the young person claims benefit in their own right. The Government also took the opportunity to refocus resources on the most severely disabled children and adults and extended eligibility for the higher rate to children who are registered blind.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is committed to supporting disabled people, improving the quality of life of those facing disadvantage and tackling poverty by addressing the causes driving it. We recognise that there can be extra costs associated with disability. Universal Credit provides additional support for disabled adults and disabled children. <br></p><p>No one, including households with disabled children, will have a reduced benefit entitlement at the point that they move over to Universal Credit as a result of managed migration.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit claimants who are responsible for a child or a qualifying young person may be entitled to a Disabled Child Addition for each eligible child. This continues to be available for all eligible children, regardless of the total number of children in the household.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton grouped question UIN 181163 181164 question first answered 23/10/2018 16:40:19 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton

uin	105991
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>Advances are time sensitive because an advance payment meets the immediate need of the claimant. So there is no right of appeal to an independent tribunal against a refusal. We have an alternative process which enables a claimant to ask for a decision to be looked at again within the office, at pace.</p><p> </p><p>The most common grounds for a refusal of an advance payment are because the claimant already has available funds, for example: savings, earnings, redundancy payments or support from the claimant or partner’s parents, family or friends. This list is not exhaustive.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 21/11/2017 15:12:08 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds previous answer version 13845 answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
