Labour — East Ham

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Disability Living Allowance for Children

Contribution

As I said to the hon. Member, we did hit the 90% target last month. That reflects a steady improvement over the last few months. We are also introducing a new online evidence portal to improve evidence gathering, in particular from schools and people in education professions. That will also reduce delays, and we plan to roll that out fully in autumn. We are on the case and making significant improvements.
