Independent MP Ian Byrne asked about steps to improve employment support for disabled Universal Credit claimants. The government is working to enhance services for these individuals.

Key actions include:

  1. Resource Allocation: More funds will go towards employment support programs specifically for disabled individuals.

  2. Training Programs: The government will introduce training for job coaches to better assist disabled claimants.

  3. Partnerships: Agencies will partner with local organizations to provide tailored job placements.

  4. Feedback Mechanism: A system will be established to gather feedback from disabled claimants. This will improve services based on their needs.

  5. Awareness Campaigns: Information campaigns will inform disabled individuals about available employment support.

These steps aim to create more opportunities and support for disabled individuals seeking work through Universal Credit.
