Labour will scrap the Work Capability and Personal Independence Payment
assessments and replace them with a personalised, holistic assessment
process which provides each individual with a tailored plan, building on
their strengths and addressing barriers, whether finance, skills, health, care,
transport, or housing related.
Labour will reverse the cruel cuts to Personal Independence Payments,
Employment Support Allowance Work-Related Activity Group and Universal
Credit Limited Capability to Work and we will repeal the hideous Bedroom
Tax which has punished so many disabled and non-disabled people. The
Conservatives’ punitive sanctions will go too.
It is over 70 years since legislation was first introduced to prohibit employment-
related discrimination against disabled people. Labour will lead the charge for a
fair deal for disabled people in work and beyond.
