A radical overhaul is needed to tackle the “unacceptable” employment barriers facing disabled people, MPs have said. A new, ambitious target is needed to reduce the disability employment gap, according to the Work and Pensions Committee. MPs urged the Government to re-adopt its previous target of halving the 30% gap, which they said had only closed by 5% since 2013, while the number of disabled people in jobs had increased by 1.3 million. The committee’s report said disabled people are considerably less likely to be in employment than non-disabled people and still face “unacceptable barriers” to finding and progressing in work. The report warned that issues of trust continue to hamper the relationship between the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) and disabled people.
