The Department for Work and Pensions is reforming how it engages with and supports disabled claimants across benefit schemes including Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment. The initiative, led by DWP with input from the Social Security Advisory Committee, aims to improve the Disability Confident Scheme, implement trauma-informed policy frameworks, and ensure disabled people co-produce policy changes affecting them. The work is currently active and includes recommendations for enhanced disclosure mechanisms and vulnerability assessments in benefit application processes.
