Pathways to Work

Volume 477: debated on Wednesday 11 June 2008

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions how many additional Pathways to Work placements he intends to provide in each year between 2010 and 2013. (204205)

From October 2008 all new employment and support allowance claimants in the Work Related Activity Group will go through Pathways to Work, and existing customers will have access on a voluntary basis. We do not expect the application of the work capability assessment from 2010 to 2013 to existing incapacity benefits recipients to make a significant difference to the numbers coming forward voluntarily for help.
