(21 February 2025)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what the (a) scope and (b) planned timeline is for her Department’s planned benefit reforms in 2025.

Asked by:
Edward Morello (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

We are committed to reforming the system of health and disability benefits so that it promotes and enables employment among as many people as possible. The system must also work to support disabled people to live independently. It is also vital to ensure that the system is financially sustainable in the long term.

We are working to develop proposals for reform to the system of health and disability benefits and will set them out in a green paper in the spring.
