Incapacity Benefit

Question
What assistance her Department makes available to existing long-term incapacity benefit claimants to help them move into employment.
Answer

We have invested heavily to support existing incapacity benefit customers into work. Since October 2003, pathways to work has helped 180,000 people into work.
