This White Paper sets out a coherent way of supporting people moving onto incapacity benefits. It is based around increasing financial incentives to return to work, a better support and referral programme and rehabilitation projects to help people manage their conditions. It seeks to give support for people who have to move from an incapacity benefit to a jobseekers allowance. These all combine to create a wider ranging package of choices for those on incapacity benefit.
