PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(9 December 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what progress she has made on reforming the welfare system for people with mental ill-health.

Asked by:
Jessica Toale (Labour)

Answer

The Government believes there is a strong case to change the system of health and disability benefits across Great Britain so that it better enables people to enter and remain in work, and to respond to the complex and fluctuating nature of the health conditions many people live with today.

We will be working to develop proposals for reform in the months ahead and will set them out for consultation and engagement in a Green Paper in spring 2025.

This Government is committed to putting the views and voices of disabled people at the heart of all that we do, so we will consult on these proposals with disabled people and representative organisations.
