The figures above show that there has been a reduction in local authority social care user numbers over the time period requested.<\/p>

<\/p>

Local authorities have shifted their focus towards preventing people needing formal packages of care hence the drop in user numbers.<\/p>

<\/p>

All councils have statutory duties to look after their vulnerable elderly and disabled people. The Care Act 2014 introduced national eligibility criteria for access to adult social care that local authorities are required to meet.<\/p>

No assessment specifically has been made on the impact of benefit sanctions and the benefit freeze on claimants\u2019 with mental health. We are committed to supporting those who cannot work, and those with additional needs. Decision Makers take all the claimant\u2019s individual circumstances, including any health conditions or disabilities, and any evidence of good cause into account before making a decision. Benefits for the additional costs of disability, and for carers, are exempt from the benefit freeze and will continue to be up-rated in the usual way<\/p>

<\/p>

The evaluation of the original benefit cap found that capped households were 41% more likely to go into work than similar uncapped households. Encouraging more households to move into work would also help increase the household\u2019s income and improve their well-being. Research shows for people without work, re-employment leads to improvement in health and well-being whereas further unemployment leads to deterioration. We therefore expect the reduction of the benefit cap to have a positive impact on households moving into work.<\/p>
