Disability element and conditions A-G

Gwrthodwyd y cais gan Cyllid a Thollau Ei Mawrhydi.

Dear HM Revenue and Customs,

I am currently trying to find representation for a small group of people who get the disability element of WTC who may be adversely affected by the move to Universal Credit .

I can find the overall 2018 number of claims receiving the disability element of WTC - 114 thousand but this is NOT split into A B C D E F for qualifying criteria.

People who meet condition C already get DLA, PIP or Attendance allowance at the lower rate and these groups are being considered for and have been mentioned in submissions for the consultation process to be considered for transitional protection when UC rolls in. Like wise for anyone who gets the severe disability element of WTC as they already get higher rates of PIP DLA or Attendance Allowance

However Groups A B E F who meet criteria G and those who fall into condition D have no representation.

I would like to know how many WTC + disability element claims fall into each of the categories of A B E F and therefore meet condition G and how also many meet condition D.

Yours faithfully,

Tania Berlow

Dear [email address] on behalf of FP&P FOI Team,

Ok so would it therefore be possible to just find out how many fit criteria G without splitting it into categories A B E F nor D?

Dear [email address] on behalf of Team, FOI,

Well that confirms it then.
No-one has a clue and no one is even considering whether transitional protection will exist for people on the WTC disability element who also do not get PIP when Universal Credit takes over.
Probably a waste of everyone's time asking the DWP the same question.

Yours sincerely,

Tania Berlow
