Who gets disability benefits?
Disability benefits in the UK are for people with long-term physical or mental health conditions that affect their daily lives. The Milburn Review focuses on 16 to 24-year-olds with severe disabilities, arguing they should receive quick, unconditional support. This is because their conditions are complex and mean they are unlikely to ever enter the workforce, making repeated assessments particularly burdensome.
