answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/01/2019 answer text <p>On 19 December the Government published its response to the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse's (IICSA) Interim Report and its report on Child Migration Programmes. The Government response outlines the Prime Minister’s decision to ensure that former child migrants receive a payment as soon as possible, in recognition of the fundamentally flawed nature of the historic child migration policy. It is our intention that the ex-gratia payment scheme is set up as quickly as possible, and further details will be provided shortly.</p><p> </p><p>We are aware that a number of former child migrants have sadly passed away since the IICSA Child Migration Programmes report was published, so the Government will accept applications in respect of any former child migrant who was alive on 1 March 2018, when the Inquiry’s Child Migration Programmes report was published.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 16/01/2019 17:23:06 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price

An interpreter in British Sign Language can be arranged for the assessment if a claimant contacts the Assessment Provider to request one when the appointment letter arrives.</p><p> </p><p>The assessment is a functional assessment and not a diagnostic assessment so Assessment Providers do not determine if someone is deaf. It would be up to the claimant to state if they are deaf (if they chose to) and provide any supporting evidence or request an interpreter (again if they chose to).</p> answering member constituency Truro and Falmouth answering member printed Sarah Newton question first answered 16/01/2019 17:59:45 answering member 4071 label Biography information for Sarah Newton
