The headline findings from the Uses of Health and Disability Benefits research give an insight into how health and disability benefits are used by recipients alongside other sources of provision and support to meet health and disability related needs.

We are currently considering a range of policy options, drawing on wide evidence, research, analysis and the responses to the Green Paper consultation. We will bring forward our proposals in our Health and Disability White Paper due later this year.
