Consultation description

Thank you for your interest in Modernising Support for Independent Living: The Health and Disability Green Paper. The consultation remains open but during the period in the run up to the General Election on 4 July 2024, we shall not be running any public face-to-face or virtual events. We shall provide an update on next steps for the consultation after the General Election.

We want to ensure that we have a welfare system that is fit for the future, a system that supports work for people who can, provides a safety net for people who need it, and that is fair to the taxpayer.

This consultation seeks views on whether we should make fundamental changes to how we support disabled people and people with health conditions, and whether our system delivers the right support to people most in need.

DWP will be running a number of accessible virtual and in-person events in June and July where you can share your views.

We will update this page to share dates, locations and how to request to attend an event.
