This consultation sets out plans and proposals to reform health and disability benefits and employment support. This Green Paper is an important staging post on a journey of reform, building on the vision and approach set out in the Get Britain Working White Paper in November 2024. It sets out our vision, strategy and proposals for change.

We want to improve and refine our plans by consulting on certain measures as described within this paper. We are committed to putting the views and voices of disabled people and people with health conditions at the heart of everything we do.

Who the consultation is aimed at

We are keen to hear views from a wide group of people, in particular disabled people and people with health conditions and disability organisations.

This consultation applies to England, Wales and Scotland. All the proposals apply in England. Note that the proposals in the consultation will only apply to the UK Government鈥檚 areas of responsibility in England, Wales and Scotland.

Social security and employment support are transferred in Northern Ireland, although the UK Government and the Northern Ireland Executive work closely together to maintain parity between their respective social security systems. However, we welcome comments from individuals and organisations in Northern Ireland, which will then be shared with the Department for Communities in Northern Ireland
