- 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.
