The Welfare Reform Bill marks the next stage in the Government’s plans to modernise the welfare state and break down the barriers that have prevented people from getting into the workplace and staying in work. The Bill contains powers to replace incapacity benefits with a new Employment Support Allowance that alongside a new Personal Capability Assessment will help give individuals more relevant support and get them into appropriate work. It will also provide more power to tackle benefit fraud which will strengthen the “two strikes” rules so that people who commit a second benefit offence within five years of their first one can have their benefit withdrawn.
