UK - Under-22s to be excluded from #incapacity benefits

by Mitchell Labiak, March 18, 2025

Excerpt:

'Trapped out of work'

"The reforms come as part of a wider push by Labour to cut spending by reducing the number of people on incapacity benefits, which is forecast to reach a record high by the end of the decade.

"Experts say the increase is due to a combination of worse #MentalHealth since the #pandemic and a higher retirement age meaning some are instead claiming incapacity benefits.

"#Starmer said he is 'not prepared to stand back and do nothing while millions of people – especially young people – who have potential to work and live independent lives, instead become trapped out of work and abandoned by the system'.

"However, #DisabilityRightsUK said that barring under-22s from claiming the health element of universal credit alongside the proposal to increase assessments 'mark dangerous cuts for all #disabled people'.

"The charity added that the package of reforms was 'not about supporting disabled people into work, but making brutal and reckless cuts'."

I didn't see a public announcement, but Vicky mentioned there's a new #MinisterForDisabledPeople, Stephen Timms. I'm disappointed it's not Vicky. But it's (hopefully) better than no one.

Delighted to see@stephenctimms become Minister for Disabled People. It was the honour of my life to serve as Shadow Minister.
During those 4 years I met so many amazing people and organisations in the sector who changed my life for the better.
