Diabetes is a long term health condition and how disabling it is for people will vary depending on, amongst other things, severity and how well it is managed. The Government set out its assessment of the impacts of the policies in the Welfare Reform and Work Bill on 20th July. These are available on the Parliament website.</p><br /> <br /> <br /> more like this

star this property answer text <p>We know this is a worrying time for people and we stand ready to support anyone impacted by job loss. In response to COVID-19 we have established an alternative service to our usual face-to-face offer. People will be able to access redundancy help and job search advice on the Department’s new Job Help campaign website (<a href="http://www.jobhelp.dwp.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.jobhelp.dwp.gov.uk</a>). There is also information on gov.uk and updated information packs provided to employers to help them signpost employees to the support that is available. The support includes:</p><p> </p><ul><li>connecting people to jobs in the labour market;</li><li>helping with job search including CV writing, interview skills, where to find jobs and how to apply for them;</li><li>helping to identify transferable skills and skills gaps (linked to the local labour market); and</li><li>advising what benefits they may get and how to claim.</li></ul><p> </p><p>The Rapid Response Service is co-ordinated nationally by the National Employer and Partnership Team and managed by Jobcentre Plus. Delivery partners include the National Careers Service, local training providers, employers, HM Revenue &amp; Customs, Money Advice Service and the skills bodies in England.</p><p> </p><p>These services are offered by equivalents in the Devolved Administrations: PACE (Scotland) and ReAct (Wales). Redundancy support in Northern Ireland is devolved with separate funding and delivery arrangements where no partner support is available</p>

New claimants who have either become unemployed, or whose earnings or work hours have decreased because of the outbreak, will benefit too; subject to their eligibility.</p><p>We have also made a number of changes to legacy and other working age benefits in response to the COVID-19 outbreak, including increasing certain entitlements, such as Local Housing Allowance, lifting rates to the 30<sup>th</sup> percentile from April 2020 which will increase the housing support available and reduce shortfalls for those renting in the private rented sector.
