The government are going to ramp up pathways to work voluntary work support to 65,000 claimants in LCW & LCWRA groups by end of financial year

How long before it’s mandatory???

@dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social
In black text it says - behind the effort is the redeployment of £1,000 existing Job centre staff who will provide voluntary help to people on Universal Credit with no requirement to look for work or engage with job help because of their condition - the first national offer of help for this group. The work coaches known as pathways to work advisors are based in every job centre in England Scotland and wales - fullfling the commitment in March to ramp up efforts to get more people into work. With a target to help 65,000 people with Limited Capability for Work and Work related activity by the end of this financial year

‘DWP Deaths Make Me Sick’ shrouds, a series by Vince Laws. See more at the Shape Open art show Rights Cuts Action.

You can see the art Show Rights Cuts Action from 6/10/25-5/11/25

Link to details of the art show here

dpac.uk.net/2025/09/exhi...
Labour elected 2024 Will they investigate DWP Deaths? No. Will they stop benefit sanctions? No. Will they tax wealth? Ha! New Government same old shit. The shroud is orange fabric with black text, lying on green grass. Top left there’s a skull, the teeth spell DWP. Top right there’s a rose, Labour’s logo. There are chains filling the gaps between the text. Labour Cuts Still Kill MPs on £94,000 Plus Expenses Cut Benefits And Spend More On ‘Defence’. Who Benefits From War? #Welfare Not Warfare The shroud is white fabric with black, white and blue text. Down the right hand side, red scissors have chopped the heads off three red roses. Labour promise change then bring in Tory cuts cuts still kill Labour Roses thrive in shit People don’t. Cuts cuts cuts. If the system cripples you you must cripple the system. New government same old shit Why bother to vote? Rebel Resist Revolt The shroud is white fabric with red and blue text, with red and blue roses. Ends
