THE DISABILITY VIEWS OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATS

From the leaders correspondence team

We have been clear that seeking to “balance the books on the backs of the poor and disabled … is neither acceptable or responsible.”

We want to raise awareness of, and seek to expand, Access to Work which supports people with disabilities back into work.

We want to scrap the discredited Work Capability Assessment and replace it with a new system, run by local authorities according to national rules, including a ‘real world’ test that is based on the local labour market.
