Both Personal Independence Payment (PIP) assessment providers have a Condition Insight Report (CIR) on Foetal Valproate Spectrum Disorder, which all their Health Professionals (HPs) have access to during the course of the PIP assessment process. CIRs are often developed with input from stakeholder groups that advocate for those with the relevant condition.<\/p>
<\/p>
While it is not possible to objectively assess the specific impact of a CIR on HPs\u2019 knowledge, the CIR on Foetal Valproate Spectrum Disorder is a welcome addition to the information available to HPs. DWP Case Managers are responsible for making decisions on PIP entitlement, based on all the evidence submitted, including the advice given by HPs.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1609", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chloe Smith"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Norwich North"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chloe Smith"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-05-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-05-24T15:18:37.97Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-05-16", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Personal Independence Payment: Foetal Valproate Spectrum Disorder"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what impact the Condition Insight Report for Valproate has had on personal independence payment decisions for people with fetal valproate spectrum disorder since its introduction in August 2020.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4436", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Cat Smith"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Lancaster and Fleetwood"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Cat Smith"} ], "uin" : "2532"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1463012", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Work and Pensions"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1463012/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Entitlement to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is assessed\u202fon the basis of\u202fthe needs arising from a health condition or disability, rather than the health condition or disability itself.\u202fAward rates and their durations are set on an individual basis, based on the claimant\u2019s needs and the likelihood of those needs changing. Award reviews allow for the correct rate of PIP to remain in payment, including where needs have increased as a consequence of a congenital, degenerative or progressive condition.<\/p>
<\/p>
We announced in the Shaping Future Support: Health and Disability Green Paper that we will test a new Severe Disability Group (SDG) so that those with severe and lifelong conditions can benefit from a simplified process to access PIP, ESA and UC without needing to go through a face-to-face assessment or frequent reassessments. We will consider the test results once complete to influence thinking on the next stages of this work.<\/p>

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) for children is an extra-costs benefit available to those under the age of 16 who, due to a disability or health condition have mobility issues and/or have needs which are substantially in excess of a child the same age without the disability or health condition. It is not an income replacement benefit. It is non-contributory and not means tested or subject to taxation and is therefore payable to eligible children regardless of the family\u2019s income. As it is paid as a contribution towards the extra costs that arise as a result of a long-term health condition or disability, entitlement therefore ceases following the death of the disabled child.<\/p>
<\/em><\/strong><\/p> However, entitlement to Carer's Allowance can continue for up to eight weeks following the death of the disabled person who was being cared for. The normal Carer's Allowance entitlement rules continue to apply during this eight-week run-on. The eight-week run-on helps carers who have recently been bereaved by giving them some time to adapt to their new circumstances.<\/p> <\/p> The Children\u2019s Funeral Fund for England can help to pay for some of the costs of a funeral for a child under 18 or a baby stillborn after the 24th week of pregnancy. In addition, the means tested Social Fund Funeral Expenses Payment may be able to offer up to £1000 of additional support for other funeral expenses for eligible customers.<\/p> <\/p> We currently do not hold data on mortality rates of child applicants to DLA.<\/p>"}
