answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2020 answer text <p>I can reassure you that IIDB is being treated with the same priority as other benefits and we are working closely with our stakeholders to restart assessments safely as soon as possible. Once face-to-face assessments are recommenced and cases progressed, awards will be backdated to the date of claim to ensure no one is underpaid. In the meantime, for claimants with the most serious or terminal conditions, claims continue to be processed and decisions made as normal. We are actively considering how to deal with those cases not currently being processed.</p><p> </p><p>Reassessment case awards have been extended to ensure that payments continue unhindered on those cases. Any deteriorations in condition which would have meant an increase in award, will be backdated once face-to-face assessments recommence, to ensure that no one is underpaid.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 03/09/2020 13:29:03 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
