Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, whether she plans to implement the policy paper entitled Transforming Support: The Health and Disability White Paper, published on 15 March 2023.
This government is committed to breaking down the barriers to opportunity for disabled people and people with health conditions, improving our employment and health support offer and tackling rising levels of economic inactivity. We will replace or reform the Work Capability Assessment alongside putting in place a proper plan to support disabled people into work, and continue to engage with stakeholders to keep the views of disabled people and people with health conditions at the heart of what we do. We will be considering our own approach to social security in due course.
