answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/01/2018 answer text <p>As part of the first Independent Review of the Work Capability Assessment, Professor Malcolm Harrington recommended a copy of the personalised summary of the assessment report was sent to every claimant.</p><p> </p><p>Following a trial in 2011 evidence suggested a better approach would be to send claimants the Decision Makers justification. This approach was agreed with Professor Harrington and implementation commenced in December 2011. The implementation considered policy, operational and claimant’s requirements. As a result it was agreed that the Decision Maker’s justification will be shared in all adverse decisions, and only shared on request where entitlement has been awarded.</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 25/01/2018 16:34:05 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
