New video: team calls for end to benefit sanctions on disabled people
March 4, 2019 Leave a Comment
The third and final video in our fantastic new series talks about our research into disabled people and the welfare benefits system. Featuring Professor Peter Dwyer from the University of York and Professor Lisa Scullion from the University of Salford, the film calls for benefit sanctions on disabled people to be ended. The failing Work Capability Assessment must be replaced, the researchers say. Instead the priority must be to offer high quality support to those who want to work.
‘Support not sanctions helps disabled people into work‘ features animated stories from participants in our research.
