Why shouldn't someone assessed by DWP as too unwell to work & facing significant extra costs due to disabilities & poor health receive state support at least around the rate of a minimum wage salary?

I spoke to Ian Collins on TalkTV earlier about (misleading) reports today on this subject

As well as cutting health & disability benefits, the government plans to introduce conditionality for many people currently exempt from it

I explained to the Work & Pensions Select Committee yesterday that NEF's work shows this won't be an effective way to engage this group with employment support
