Pathways to Work Green Paper

Today the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions Liz Kendall announced a series of reforms to the welfare system. There were lots of rumours ahead of today’s announcements and this has, understandably, caused concern for people in Plymouth. The Government have released a series of answers to some of the questions that people who are currently claiming disability benefits might have.
