Mr. Alan Howarth

To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what plans he has to undertake research into the take up of incapacity and other disability benefits by persons with mental health needs. [6053]

The Department has no plans for research specifically on the take-up of disability or incapacity benefits by persons with mental health needs, but we will be seeking to use data from the disability survey now in progress to estimate take-up of disability living allowance and attendance allowance.
