The amendment against the universal credit and personal independent payment bill emphasizes the absence of formal consultation with disabled individuals and their caregivers. It points out that the Office for Budget Responsibility's employment impact analysis will not be released until autumn 2025, with significant employment support funding delayed until the decade's end. Although the bill claims to protect current claimants, there is a lack of government impact assessments on future claimants and the potential worsening of poverty and health issues for many individuals, including children.
The provisions of the universal credit and personal independent payment bill have not been subject to a formal consultation with disabled people and their carers.
The Office for Budget Responsibility is not expected to publish its analysis of the employment impact of these reforms until the autumn of 2025.
Majority of the additional employment support funding will not be in place until the end of the decade, raising concerns about timely support.
The government has not produced its own impact assessment on future claimants of personal independence payment and universal credit's effects on poverty.
