Vikki Slade

Liberal Democrat — Mid Dorset and North Poole

Speaking in the House of Commons on 28 January 2026

Debate

Access to Work: People with Disabilities

Contribution

My constituent Becky relies on Access to Work, but her application was denied and it has taken eight months just to receive an acknowledgement of her complaint to the Independent Case Examiner. We cannot progress an ombudsman claim until that is dealt with. What is the Department for Work and Pensions doing to arrange for complaints to be dealt with more quickly so that people can get back into work?
