answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/07/2015 answer text <p /> <p>We have no plans to enable people who have been infected by contaminated blood products to gain automatic access to disability benefits. Disability benefits are primarily based on the daily living, care or, where applicable, mobility needs arising from a long-term physical or mental health condition or disability rather than a diagnosis, specific medical condition or disability. This means that those who have been infected by contaminated blood products have access to disability benefits on the same terms as other people with physical or mental health conditions or disabilities.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 02/07/2015 13:26:07 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson
