Delivering our manifesto commitment to tackle child poverty is an urgent priority for this Government, and the Ministerial Taskforce is working to publish the child poverty strategy in the Spring.<\/p>

<\/p>

Our publication on 23 October \u2018Tackling Child Poverty: Developing our Strategy\u2019 sets out how we will develop the Strategy, harnessing all available levers to deliver a reduction in child poverty this Parliament.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Strategy will look at levers across four key themes of increasing incomes, reducing essential costs, increasing financial resilience; and better local support especially in the early years. This will build on the reform plans underway across government and work underway in Devolved Governments.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Taskforce will hear directly from experts on each of the Strategy\u2019s themes including children and families living in poverty and work with leading organisations, charities, and campaigners.<\/p>

<\/p>

To support struggling families, we have already boosted the Household Support Fund by a further £421 million in England. The vital work of the Taskforce comes alongside our commitments to roll out free breakfast clubs at all primary schools, create 3,000 additional nurseries, as well as deliver our plan to make work pay to turn the minimum wage into a real living wage.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4083", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Alison McGovern"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Birkenhead"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Alison McGovern"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-10-29", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-10-29T16:42:42.547Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "29"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Work and Pensions"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-10-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Poverty: Children"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps she is taking to tackle child poverty in Sheffield Central constituency.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/5142", "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Sheffield Central"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Abtisam Mohamed"} ], "uin" : "11092"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1736935", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1736935/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is aimed at supporting people, who have a long-term physical or mental health condition, with extra disability-related costs. Entitlement is based on how the condition affects mobility and daily living needs, rather than the condition itself.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are currently no specific document requirements, other than the evidence gather questionnaire (PIP2), so we cannot reduce the number of documents required.<\/p>

<\/p>

We do, however, encourage claimants to provide supporting evidence/documentation to help DWP better understand claimant needs and how their condition or disability affects or restricts their ability to carry out various activities.<\/p>

<\/p>

There are no plans to change this, but we do appreciate that some claimants can find it challenging so flexibility is applied:<\/p>
