Jobseeker's Allowance: Mental Illness (18 November 2015)

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what monitoring his Department carries out on changes in the number of people on jobseeker's allowance registered as having a mental health condition; and what change there has been in such numbers since 2010.

Asked by:

JSA claimants do not have to declare a mental health condition, therefore the information requested is not available.
