star this property answer text <p>No assessment has been made. The fundamental purpose of Housing Benefit is to help people on low incomes pay their rent. As it is an income related benefit, regard must be had to all income and capital when assessing entitlement. Whilst it is important to encourage saving, it has never been thought right for substantial amounts of capital to be ignored altogether when deciding entitlement to a benefit based on need.</p><p> </p><p>However, as ISAs are treated as capital, entitlement to Housing Benefit is only affected if the amount held in an ISA exceeds £6,000 for working age people or £10,000 for people over pension age. Housing Benefit claimants who are also receiving a passporting benefit such as Income Support or Pension Credit have all their capital disregarded.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>The government is committed to transforming the everyday lives of disabled people. We published the National Disability Strategy in July 2021. This sets out a wide-ranging set of practical actions to improve the lives of disabled people, including in relation to education.</p><p>Individual education settings may make their own arrangements, internally and externally, to recognise Disability History Month. The Department for Education has a long history of celebrating difference, including Disability Awareness Month internally, and is also taking a range of actions to improve the education of disabled children and young people. In particular, we will be consulting in the first three months of 2022 on ways to strengthen the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system through the SEND Review.</p><p>We have also increased high needs funding for children and young people with complex SEND. In the summer, we announced a further £780 million for financial year 2022-23, building on an increase of more than £1.5 billion over the two years since 2019-20, and bringing the total high needs budget next year to £8.9 billion. The autumn 2021 Spending Review delivers an additional £4.7 billion for the core schools’ budget (schools and high needs) by financial year 2024-25, including an additional £1.6 billion in 2022-23, on top of the funding increases we announced last summer.</p><p>We are also investing £2.6 billion between 2022 and 2025 to deliver new places and improve existing provision for pupils with SEND or who require alternative provision. This funding represents a transformational investment in new high needs provision and will help deliver tens of thousands of new places.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>On 22 September 2022, we announced “Our Plan for Patients,” which contains measures to help people make an informed choice about which practice is best for them, book an appointment more easily, benefit from more options when they need care and bolster general practice teams with other professionals who can help them. This should increase the availability of appointments, including face-to-face appointments.</p><p>NHS England guidance is clear that GP practices must provide face to face appointments, alongside remote consultations, and should respect preferences for face-to-face care unless there are good clinical reasons to the contrary.</p><p>Remote consultations can provide additional choice, flexibility and convenience for patients. However a blended offer of face to face and remote consultations is important because remote access is not suitable for all patients or in all circumstances. We expect patients to experience the same high quality of care regardless of how they access their GP surgery.</p>

Licensed cannabis-based medicines are routinely available on the National Health Service, however, clinical guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence demonstrate a clear need for more evidence to support routine prescribing and funding decisions for unlicensed cannabis based products for medicinal use in humans. Until that evidence base is built, prescribers will remain reticent to prescribe and no decision can be made by the NHS on routine funding.</p><p>We continue to call on manufacturers to conduct research and we are working with regulatory, research and NHS partners to establish clinical trials to test the safety and efficacy of these products.</p> more like this
