answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>In responses to the 2016 Improving Lives: Work, Health and Disability Green Paper consultation and through several other forums, stakeholders have raised concerns about the feeling of duplication across the current assessment processes. We have therefore been exploring options to reduce this, and make improvements to the customer experience. By testing the feasibility of a single assessment for Employment and Support Allowance/Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment we can seek to understand if it will improve the assessment process for our customers, and ensure that it delivers high quality and accurate outcomes. The study is being informed by existing evidence and we have been gathering views and insight from key stakeholders to understand the issues around implementing this.</p><p> </p><p>I do consider there are merits and we announced in March 2019 that we have launched the Health Transformation Programme to deliver a new integrated assessment service across all health and disability benefits. This will make the assessment process simpler, quicker, more user-friendly and more joined-up whichever benefit people are claiming. This integrated service will still be taking applications to individual benefits on a separate basis.</p> answering member constituency North Swindon answering member printed Justin Tomlinson question first answered 08/10/2019 10:42:38 answering member 4105 label Biography information for Justin Tomlinson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/10/2019 answer text <p>It is a matter for the US government to determine how US tax obligations are calculated. This includes how these obligations apply to people born in the US. The US has a long-standing policy of taxing on the basis of citizenship rather than residence. The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act is a reporting mechanism that obliges financial institutions to report the details of US citizens to the US. UK Government officials continue to actively and regularly engage with their US counterparts regarding US citizens who are resident in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 08/10/2019 07:45:53 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
