Department for Work and Pensions This will likely push people off benefits and into programs linked to untrained professionals and work that will not be suitable for all. This is a dangerous game. Especially for those unable to work due to dynamic chronic disabilities & complex needs eg neurodivergence & MH

Department for Work and Pensions Inactivity is ableist This will harm disabled people esp if programs & work are unsuitable for them Being told by people who don’t know our health history Work is not a health outcome for all Can you be sure that those who “fail” this & still unwell to work will be protected?

Department for Work and Pensions If you want to address poverty in the disabled community how about you make sure UC & PIP are enough to live on for all! 40% of UC are working, cos wages are too low Energy bills are higher. Disabled ppl have extra costs of £1010 a month! No cuts to benefits either would help too

Sean Armstrong Department for Work and Pensions This is a concern 😕 It will not work for everyone especially if the trainers have 0 understanding The scheme shouldn’t be introduced without having better providers in place. Unlikely though

Liz Kendall Department of Health and Social Care Wes Streeting Chronic illnesses/disabilities will not get better! Inactivity is ableist & it seems you are blaming us for the poor economy & you want to get unwell people back to work while cutting their benefits. That is what this plan will do Tying health to work is risky. Not all can work!


The Labour Party Getting disabled people back to work through “programs” that will “help” but in reality will cut/save welfare because apparently we’re worthless & dragging the economy down if we’re not. Fixing foundations shouldn’t be at the expense of vulnerable lives - eg disabled/elderly


Sean Armstrong True but I doubt they will unfortunately
