The consultation on the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) ‘Modernising support for independent living: health and disability Green Paper’ will run until Monday 22 July 2024.
The Green Paper explores how the welfare system could be redesigned in regards to payments for disabilities and long-term health conditions and includes proposals for reform of the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) system.
