Employment: Disability
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of a Work Transition Guarantee to help ensure disabled people keep their benefits for a period after they move into work.
- Answer
-
Building on the support Universal Credit provides disabled people, our Pathways to Work Green Paper launched a consultation on creating a route into work consistent with health conditions or disability, with UC supplementing income. Communication around this will emphasise that engaging with work won’t trigger a reassessment, and that existing linking rules mean if a job ends the previous benefit rate remains.
