The latest official data indicates an increase in police recorded disability hate crime, which is mostly due to general police recording improvements.<\/p>

The latest Crime Survey for England and Wales indicates a downward trend in overall hate crime incidence over the past decade but any instance is one too many and we stand alongside all victims of this abhorrent crime.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4399", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Victoria Atkins"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Louth and Horncastle"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Victoria Atkins"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2019-07-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2019-07-15T16:13:07.753Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2019-07-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Hate Crime: Disability"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "What recent assessment he has made of trends in the level of reported disability hate crime.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4212", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Debbie Abrahams"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Oldham East and Saddleworth"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Debbie Abrahams"} ], "uin" : "911940"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1138637", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1138637/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

There is a robust legal framework relating to the use of restrictive practices, including the Human Rights Act 2008, Mental Health Act 1983, and the Mental Capacity Act 2005.

The Government recognises the critical role that post offices play in communities and for small businesses across the UK. This is why the Government committed to safeguard the post office network and protect existing rural services. The overall number of post offices across the UK remains at its most stable in decades with over 11,500 branches thanks to significant Government investment of over £2 billion since 2010.<\/p>

<\/p>

While the Government sets the strategic direction for the Post Office, it allows the company the commercial freedom to deliver this strategy as an independent business. Impact assessments in respect of the franchising of Crown Post Offices to WHSmith are an operational matter for the Post Office. I have therefore asked the Group Chief Executive of Post Office Limited, to write to the hon. Member on this matter.

Notes:<\/strong><\/p>

  • Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10. Components may not sum to totals due to rounding.<\/li>
  • Main disabling condition is as recorded on the PIP Computer System (PIPCS) at time of award review or change of circumstances decision. Claimants' main disabling condition may have changed since their original claim was successful. Claimants may have multiple disabling conditions in which case only the main disabling condition, as decided at assessment, is recorded.<\/li>
  • Definition of award review: The claimant reached their scheduled review date and the Department has sent them a PIP2 form (prior to 25th<\/sup> June 2016) or an AR1 form (post 25th<\/sup> June 2016). Only one Award review registration per review date is included in this data.<\/li>
  • Definition of change of circumstances: The claimant informed the Department of a change in their circumstances which may lead to a change in award. The claimant has been sent a PIP2 form (if Normal Rules).<\/li>
  • Award reviews and change of circumstances which are subsequently cancelled by the DWP are excluded.<\/li>
  • Data includes cases which were originally new claims or DLA to PIP reassessments and claims made under both Normal Rules and Special Rules for Terminally Ill people.<\/li>

      The DWP will continue to maintain Post Office card accounts until 2021 and anyone affected after this date will be able to access their money via a suitable banking product that they are able to open themselves. Most bank accounts are available over the counter at Post Office branches and supportive messages are used to signpost customers and encourage them to continue collecting their money at the Post Office. Where this is not possible, the DWP will provide a suitable replacement service after this date.<\/p>

      The DWP has a contract in place with Post Office Limited to provide access to Post Office card accounts throughout its network of branches and ATM\u2019s, this includes some retail outlets.

      Claimants should not experience a loss of benefit in this situation.<\/p>

      <\/p>

      Claimants can be paid Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) whilst appealing a decision, the rate of which is equivalent to that of Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance (JSA). In order for someone to be paid ESA pending an appeal they need to provide the Department with fit notes in order to be treated as having Limited Capability for Work until the appeal is determined. However, this doesn\u2019t apply where the claimant fails a second Work Capability Assessment. Where this is the case then ESA will not be paid pending the appeal and the claimant would need to claim new style Jobseeker\u2019s Allowance (NSJSA) or Universal Credit (UC).<\/p>

      <\/p>
