- The Health and Disability Green Paper is due in spring 2025, and the government plans to consult disabled people and representative organisations.
- The proposed revision of the work capability assessment could exempt fewer people from seeking work and qualifying for additional payments, while claimants could instead be referred to occupational health professionals.
- The government says nearly two-thirds of Universal Credit recipients are currently unemployed, while most ESA recipients are expected to move to Universal Credit this year.
- Birmingham Live reports that only 16 per cent of working-age PIP recipients are employed, although PIP is assessed according to how a disability affects daily activities and mobility.
We believe there is a strong case to change the system of health and disability benefits across Great Britain so that it better enables people to enter and remain in work, to respond to the complex and fluctuating nature of the health conditions many people live with today.— Sir Stephen Timms, the DWP Minister for Social Security and Disability, addressing a parliamentary query.
