Katy Clark – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Work and Pensions

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Katy Clark on 2014-04-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, how many requests for reconsideration of an employment and support allowance decision have been subject to a decision since 28 October 2013.

Mike Penning

While mandatory reconsideration data is being collected, it is not sufficiently robust and reliable to make available.

The Department is looking into what can be published. The data will need to be validated in order to ensure that it satisfies the relevant standards.
