Answer
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.
