Work aspirations and support needs of health and disability customers

Summary

The UK's Department for Work and Pensions aims to support individuals with health conditions and disabilities into suitable employment. This interim report, based on a survey of 3,401 benefit customers and 61 interviews, investigates their work aspirations, the barriers they face, and their support needs. It reveals that a significant portion of customers wish to work under certain conditions or with specific support, while nearly half feel they will never be able to work again. The research is ongoing, with a final report expected in Spring 2025.
