This article examines the financial implications of moving from welfare to work for people with mental health problems. Five case studies are presented and measures of welfare dependency are compared. Finds that people with mental health problems face greater unemployment and poverty traps than the general population. Argues that there are few circumstances that would make a move into paid work financially viable and that the recently introduced Disabled Persons' Tax Credit does little to improve this situation. Concludes that disincentives are created by complex, inflexible and arbitrary rules for disability and housing benefits and that further measures are required to promote the inclusion of people with mental health problems in the labour market.
