Work and Independence Programme
Day 26 · Proposal 25 · Section XI · Policy 28 / Major Promise 25 · 7 min read
Proposal 25 would create an enhanced support programme for people receiving long-term sickness or disability benefits who want, and may be able, to return to suitable and sustainable work. Through retraining, transitional financial support, occupational assistance, workplace adaptations and transport support, it would aim to make work genuinely pay while protecting everyone who cannot safely work.
WorkProductivity26
Assessing what people can do — safely, reliably and sustainably.
Day 27 · Proposal 26 · Section XI · Policy 29 / Major Promise 26 · 8 min read
Proposal 26 would reform work-capability assessments so they identify what a person can safely, reliably and sustainably do—not merely record a diagnosis or catalogue limitations. Decisions would consider realistic hours, transferable skills, reasonable adjustments, fluctuating conditions and genuine suitable work, while retaining strong health safeguards and keeping PIP separate from employability.
