question text To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the support given to those of working age living in a household subject to the benefit cap; how many of those people received employment support: and how many of those receiving employment support moved into work in 2014 and 2015. more like this

answer text <p /> <p>Since April 2012 Jobcentre Plus has been supporting claimants potentially affected by the benefit cap to ensure they receive the help they need to move closer to the labour market. Management Information was collected from pre-implementation in May 2012 to November 2013 showing approximately 35,800 people living in potentially capped households had accepted an offer of support. More recent information on the number of people living in capped households who have received employment support and on how many of them have moved into work is not readily available but employment support continues to be available.</p><p>Since the cap was introduced in April 2013, more than 16,000 previously capped households have entered work, as defined by an open Working Tax Credit claim. A suite of evaluation was published on 15 December 2014 finding those affected by the benefit cap were 41 per cent more likely to go into work, as defined by having an open Working Tax Credit claim, than a similar group with benefit entitlement just under the cap level. 38 per cent of those capped said they were doing more to find work.</p>

answer text <p>The Department of Health does not collect data centrally on the cost of travel to hospital appointments; this is a matter for local NHS organisations.</p><p>The Healthcare Travel Costs Scheme is part of the NHS Low Income Scheme, and was set up to provide financial assistance to those patients who do not have a medical need for Hospital or ambulance transport, but who require assistance with their travel costs. The scheme is run locally by the NHS and is funded from local budgets rather than centrally forming part of the overall NHS cash Allocation.</p><p> </p><p>All claimants that attend an appointment for a Work Capability Assessment (WCA) are entitled to claim back any reasonable travel costs incurred. The Department does not break down the cost of travel to WCA for recipients of Employment and Support Allowance to Work Related Activity Group level but, per claimant, in total, that has actually made a claim for expenses, during the period March 2015 to May 2015 the average cost was between £8.75 - £8.90</p><p> </p><p>Claimants that attend an appointment at a jobcentre are refunded travel costs in appropriate circumstances. The Department does not break down the cost of travel to jobcentres for recipients of Employment and Support Allowance to Work Related Activity Group level.</p>
