answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/03/2022 answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p>When individuals make a claim to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) they are encouraged to provide relevant evidence which they already have. This can include information from a GP. We do not advise claimants to request additional documents as this may slow down their claim, or incur a cost. GPs can charge their patients for producing additional supporting evidence and they may not always be best placed to provide evidence of a claimant’s functional capabilities.</p><p> </p><p>Part 1 of the PIP Assessment Guide (PIPAG) - Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment guide for assessment providers - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) - for Health Professionals who carry out PIP assessments, includes guidance at section 1.4 requiring them to review each claim to determine whether further evidence is needed. It also advises on the most appropriate source of further evidence considering a range of professionals who may be involved in supporting the claimant.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith question first answered 08/03/2022 14:39:31 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith

question text	To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment he has made of the potential implications for his policies that a 4 per cent alcohol by volume pint of beer or cider contains more alcohol than a Scotch Whisky cocktail but raises less duty under his Department's reform proposals; and if he will make a statement.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/03/2022 answer text The Government intends to move to a new progressive system of duty that taxes all products in reference to the litres of pure alcohol they contain, with products with higher concentration of alcohol paying a higher rate of duty per unit. As part of this approach, the Government is cutting duty on lower ABV spirits-based drinks, such as pre-packaged gin and tonics, and is increasing duty on higher ABV products, such as strong ‘white’ cider and fortified wine.<p> </p>The Government received evidence supporting this approach during its call for evidence held in 2020. As set out in the summary of responses published in October 2021, public health groups cited the correlation between cheap, high strength spirits (such as vodka) and alcohol-related harms, as the volume of drink needed to reach intoxication is smaller with higher strength drinks. The Government is therefore addressing these concerns. answering member constituency Faversham and Mid Kent answering member printed Helen Whately grouped question UIN 131296 question first answered 03/03/2022 16:48:58 answering member 4527 label Biography information for Helen Whately

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2022 answer text <p>The Secretary of State undertakes an annual review of benefits and pensions. The Consumer Prices Index (CPI) is the main measure of UK inflation. CPI in the year to September (published by the Office for National Statistics in October) is the latest figure that the Secretary of State can use to allow sufficient time for the required legislative and operational changes before new rates can be introduced at the start of the new financial year. From April 2022 benefits and pensions will increase by 3.1%, in line with the CPI.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p>Disability benefits are not means–tested, non-contributory and thus paid regardless of any income or savings. PIP and DLA were not subject to the benefits freeze.</p> answering member constituency Norwich North answering member printed Chloe Smith grouped question UIN 129226 question first answered 04/03/2022 14:31:15 answering member 1609 label Biography information for Chloe Smith
