Pathways to Work: Public Consultation

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeDepartment for Work and PensionsTabled Answered 14 May 2025UIN 49983

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2025 to Question 46071 on Personal Independence Payments: Veterans, whether her Department has invited specific organisations to participate in its Green Paper consultation; and where her Department has advertised that consultation.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

As outlined in my answer to Question 46071, we strongly welcome the thoughts of veterans and representative organisations.

The Pathways to Work consultation invites people to share their views on our proposals, and we hope that a wide range of voices will respond before it closes on the 30 June 2025. Our schedule of virtual and in-person public consultation events across the country will further facilitate input and help us to hear from disabled people and stakeholder organisations directly. Full details of how to respond to the consultation and join the events can be found via this link: Pathways to Work: Reforming Benefits and Support to Get Britain Working Green Paper - GOV.UK.
