This includes reforms to employment and welfare via the DWP’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/transforming-support-the-health-and-disability-white-paper" target="_blank">‘Transforming Support: Health and Disability White Paper’</a>, and strategies to address health and social care via DHSC’s <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/people-at-the-heart-of-care-adult-social-care-reform-white-paper" target="_blank">‘People at the Heart of Care White Paper’</a>. These are long term reform efforts which are already underway and outside the scope of a new one to two year action plan.</p><p>The plan will go further in areas where we think joint action across Government departments can make a tangible difference to disabled people’s lives in the immediate term - or where we can make meaningful progress towards a longer term goal, for example improved disability data and evidence.</p><p>We are planning to consult on the Disability Action Plan this summer, publishing a full draft of the plan alongside a set of consultation questions.</p><p>This consultation will be an opportunity for everyone - disabled people, disabled people’s organisations, other interested parties - to have their say on the Disability Action Plan. It will be fully accessible to ensure that disabled people can take part, including being made available in various accessible formats.</p><p>We will consider all responses to the consultation carefully before publishing the final Disability Action Plan.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 03/05/2023 09:18:32 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of exempting people impacted by domestic abuse from (a) the benefit cap and (b) repaying benefit advances.

uin	110829
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/12/2022 answer text <p>There are no current plans to introduce new exemptions into the benefit cap policy.</p><p> </p><p>Households receiving disability benefits and/or entitled to carer benefits are exempt together with households that earn at least £658 a month. Households may also be exempt for a period of nine months where the claimant, their partner or ex-partner has a sustained work history.</p><p> </p><p>DWP recognises the pressures and challenges that this group face, which is why we have made Discretionary Housing Payments available to allow LAs to provide financial help with rental costs. In order to facilitate that, DWP has made it clear to LAs that we consider this group to be among those for whom DHPs should be a priority.</p><p> </p><p>Universal Credit advances are a claimant’s entitlement paid early, repaid through future payments being automatically reduced. Making Universal Credit advances non-repayable for victims of domestic abuse would mean this cohort of claimants receiving greater entitlement than others, raising equality concerns from other groups of claimants. The Government has taken steps to support all new Universal Credit claimants receiving a new claim advance. In April 2021, the repayment period for new claim advances was doubled to give more flexibility.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 20/12/2022 15:10:06 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
