The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee has issued a stark warning, calling for immediate action to address the 'spiralling costs of the health benefit trap'. With the current system criticised for its inadequacies, the committee is urging the DWP to accelerate plans for health-related benefits reform, aiming to break the cycle of poverty and improve overall wellbeing. Key areas of focus include social security benefits, disability benefits, and welfare reform. By streamlining these services, the government can work towards a more efficient and effective system, ultimately benefiting those who need it most.
