Benefits flexibility pilots — a chance to put the arguments to the test

Abstract

The arguments about loosening up the benefits system to allow disabled people to work and retain more of their benefits need testing and evaluation in practice if they are ever to be resolved. The Government's encouragement of area based initiatives to help improve the health and wealth of deprived communities provide an opportunity to do just this. The scheme below is just one idea that is being put forward. A life in the day would welcome news of others.
