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.
And all this during #DisabilityPrideMonth.
#DisabilityRightsUK #VickyFoxcroft #UKPolitics #BringBackVicky
#DisabilityRightsUK is also unhappy about the failure to appoint someone – and specifically #VickyFoxcroft – to the position of Minister for Disabled People.
