We posted a new video, on Mar 14, 2024, "Points against The green paper on disability “reform.” The Green Paper on Disability Reform was launched by the Department of Social Protection on 20th September 2023.
The formal consulation process ends on July 31 2024. (Slide 3).
The Green Paper proposes that disabled people assessed as ‘Tier 3’ would be ‘required’ to engage with Social Protection and take up offers of employment and training. (Slide 11).
Up to 50% of existing social protection recipients would be assessed as Tier 3 (fit for work).
This is a step towards the ‘workfare’ system in Britain. Individuals subject to workfare must undertake work in return for their welfare payments or risk termination. (Slide 12).
