 Budget - Terry
Economically inactive due to long term sickness has increased by 0.5m over the last few years. The cause is unclear - long term covid, NHS waiting lists etc may be partly responsible

The proposition that people should be supported into work where possible rather than receive benefits because they can't is positive.

The new system will rely on that for personal independence payments to determine benefit eligibility. I am not clear if this is more demanding than the current work assessment.

Opinions and experiences will be polarised:

- that taxpayers should not fund those capable of work - a sentiment with which I agree.
- see any negative change as a deliberate attack on the least able - not acceptable if true

Summary - I think it depends how it is implemented. The intent is good - getting people back into work with positive support benefits economically, individual self esteem and respect.

The outcome remains to be seen.
