Context
A constituent with a progressive condition is required to provide the same information repeatedly, often on complex forms.
Does the Minister agree that once an award has been made, the frequency of assessments should be reduced? Might this be considered in the forthcoming Green Paper?
We will explore how to reduce unnecessary face-to-face assessments through the integrated assessment principle as part of the Green Paper. We are working on improving the claimant's experience and reducing review frequency for pensioners and those with severe or progressive conditions.
