<p>Central to the Government’s long term economic plan is the creation of jobs and
making work pay. We know that work is the best route out of poverty so our welfare
reforms are focussed on supporting those people who can work to find and keep work
rather than rely on benefits, ensuring fairness and affordability for the tax payer.
We are committed to balancing incentivising work with protecting pensioners and those
who cannot work, and help with the costs of additional needs. That is why benefits
for the additional costs of disability, and for carers, are up-rated each year in
line with prices, and the basic and new State Pensions are up-rated with our triple
lock guarantee.</p>
