The UK government is planning major changes to its welfare system, especially to help more young people find jobs and support disabled claimants. Two reviews will guide the new system, focusing on making benefits more about opportunity and less about just providing payments.
Key Facts
The UK’s welfare system was first created by the Clement Attlee government and updated by New Labour.
Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden says Labour must accept changes to help young people into work.
Two reviews are underway: one on young people’s benefits (by Alan Milburn) and another on disability benefits (by the Timms panel).
Last year, the government reversed plans to cut disability benefits after strong opposition.
The new system aims to shift from “what you are entitled to” to “how to improve your life.”
About 1 million young people in the UK are not working, studying, or training, and disability claims among young people have risen sharply since the pandemic.
Personal Independence Payment (PIP) claims for young people with ADHD or autism have more than tripled since 2019.
The Timms review finds the current PIP system often leaves claimants feeling dehumanized and in need of reform.
