The Equality and Human Rights Commission is currently investigating whether the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, or staff and representatives of the Department for Work and Pensions, have violated equality laws. They are gathering evidence on instances where claimants with mental impairments required reasonable adjustments during their health assessments but were denied them, leading to negative consequences.
If you are a whistleblower, charity, third sector or advocacy group, disabled people’s organisation, welfare benefits advisor, legal professional, academic, or researcher, you are encouraged to contribute evidence via the online survey. Your input could be crucial to the investigation.
