	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/09/2014 answer text <p /> <p /> <p /> <p>Eligibility for the two main working age disability benefits – Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) – is assessed through two separate assessments. However, common to both is that they look at disabled people as individuals, and do not label them by their health condition, impairment or disability.</p><p>The PIP assessment considers the impact of an individual’s condition on their ability to carry out some key everyday activities. Similarly ESA looks to determine not what condition an individual has but rather how that condition impacts on the individual’s functional capacity to work.</p><p>Both assessments include descriptors which take account of physical, sensory, mental, intellectual and cognitive impairments. Claimants for either benefit – whether with a mental health condition, physical condition or both – will not be refused benefit simply because they do not require an aide, advocate or appointee.</p> answering member constituency Forest of Dean answering member printed Mr Mark Harper question first answered 03/09/2014 14:01:20 answering member 1520 label Biography information for Mr Mark Harper
