Impact assessments for pushing those with health problems into work
Dear Department for Work and Pensions,
Background: On 27th August 2022 it was reported that Therese Coffey had quietly changed the rules while MPs were on holiday so they could not debate them to push those with health problems into work via the intensive work regime.
FoI request: Please kindly provide a copy of the impact assessments carried out to prove doing the above was safe for those affected.
