May has gone but Johnson inherits the same problems. Today on the Work and Pensions committee I secured a review from the Secretary of State of the number of assessments DWP force disabled people to undergo. People with progressive conditions or learning disabilities should not be forced to suffer having to repeatedly prove their condition or impairment.
I also pressed Rudd on the figures I obtained earlier this month which show an extra £115 million being wasted on temporary measures to prop up the failing Universal Credit. The delay to first payment should be scrapped, ending the destitution it causes as well as saving money.
