Social Security Benefits: Reform
Asked by: Baroness Penn (Conservative - Life peer) Monday 16th June 2025 Question to the Department for Work and Pensions: To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Baroness Sherlock on 14 April (HL6369), whether the static microsimulation model used in their impact assessment provided an estimate for how many of the additional 250,000 people moved into relative poverty by their welfare changes will already be in work, regardless of the funding to support those not in work into employment. Answered by Baroness Sherlock - Minister of State (Department for Work and Pensions) No assessment has been made on this basis.
The government's impact assessment regarding Health and Disability Reform is available at Spring Statement 2025 health and disability benefit reforms – Impacts.
The Pathways to Work Green Paper set out a broad package of plans and proposals to reform health and disability benefits and employment support. Our plans are designed to protect the most vulnerable and give disabled people equal chances and choices to work.
We will continue to carefully consider the impacts of reforms as we develop our detailed proposals for change.
