To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to question 98653, whether the Department will release the number of people with multiple sclerosis who are in the Work Related Activity Group.

Asked by:
John Milne (Liberal Democrat)

There were fewer than five people with multiple sclerosis as their primary condition who were claiming contributory Employment and Support Allowance (ESA) in the Work Related Activity Group (WRAG) in May 2025. Statistical disclosure control has been applied by rounding to the nearest 10 to avoid the release of confidential data. People claiming income-related Employment and Support Allowance are currently moving across to Universal Credit.
