The government’s proposed ‘ruthless’ cuts to the welfare payments won’t fix our broken benefits system, says disability rights campaigner Kamran Mallick – instead, some targeted investments would actually pay dividends
Disability rights campaigner Kamran Mallick argues that government welfare cuts are not the solution to getting sick and disabled people back to work. Instead, targeted investments in programs like Access to Work and co-designed employment programs, along with proper funding for the NHS, would be more effective. Mallick criticizes planned reforms to Work Capability Assessments and potential means-testing of Personal Independence Payments, suggesting they will be counterproductive.
