He was questioned in the House of Commons
The head of the DWP has not ruled out the possibility of means testing people with more than one disability. Mel Stride, Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, did not reject the idea when questioned in the House of Commons this week.
Another question remains unanswered about disability benefits, such as Personal Independence Payment , Disability Living Allowance for children, Attendance Allowance, and even Carers Allowance - are they going to be means tested in the future? For millions of people across the country, the answer could make a significant difference to the amount of money in their wallets at a time when money is already tight for many.
“The Prime Minister tells us that we do not need a general election because the 2019 manifesto gives him and the Conservative party a mandate," he added. "Given that that manifesto committed to the Triple Lock, why can he not give pensioners the reassurance that they deserve?"
