Health Disability Green Paper Modernising Support

The Department for Work and Pensions is modernising disability and health support through the Pathways to Work green paper, which proposes reforms to Universal Credit health entitlements, benefit rates, and work incentives for disabled and economically inactive people. The reform is supported by the Carers (Identification and Support) Bill and Health and Social Care (Independent Living) Bill, with particular controversy around delaying UC health access until age 22 and the adequacy of standard allowance increases.
