answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/07/2021 answer text <p>There are currently no plans to extend the eligibility criteria of the Kickstart Scheme or the Restart Scheme.</p><p> </p><p>Employment Support Allowance claimants who require more intensive employment support would have access to both the Work and Health Programme (WHP) and Intensive Personalised Employment Support (IPES) and can volunteer for this support at any time irrespective of benefit claimed or no benefit. The WHP predominantly helps people with a wide range of disabilities and health conditions to enter into and stay in work, and is suited to those who expect to find work within 12 months. IPES is an intensive, highly personalised voluntary support package that is flexible to participants’ needs. It supports disabled people with complex barriers to work who would be more than 12 months from the labour market without the benefit of IPES support.</p> answering member constituency Mid Sussex answering member printed Mims Davies question first answered 08/07/2021 12:44:22 answering member 4513 label Biography information for Mims Davies
