Context
The question stems from a case of vaccine side effects affecting Mrs Ward's eligibility for full vaccine damage payments under the universal credit scheme.
Question
If he will review whether vaccine damage payment awards should be disregarded for the purposes of universal credit. I thank the Minister for meeting me to discuss the case of Mrs Ward, who has been bereaved and whose full vaccine damage payment is means-tested under universal credit despite being disregarded in other systems.
Answer from Guy Opperman
My sympathies go out to Mrs Ward and her family. I can assure him that this matter will be reviewed as it is a cross-Government issue, but it will be resolved by the summer at the latest.
Not addressed: Did not provide specific details on how or who would review the issue
