The Treasury carefully considers the impact of its decisions on those sharing protected characteristics, including at Spring Statement 2022 and Autumn Budget 2021 and other fiscal events, in line with both its legal obligations and with its strong commitment to promoting fairness.<\/p>
<\/p>
Those with protected characteristics are amongst those who are benefitting from the actions taken at the Spring Statement 2022 and Autumn Budget 2021. These include increases in the National Living Wage (NLW) to £9.50 an hour for workers aged 23 and over, which will benefit women, people with disabilities and individuals from some ethnic minority backgrounds, who are more likely to be on the NLW.<\/p>
<\/p>
Women and the LGBT community are disproportionately affected by domestic abuse and sexual violence and are being supported by increased funding announced at Autumn Budget 2021 for victim support services, including Independent Sexual and Domestic Violence Advisors.<\/p>
<\/p>
Spending Review 2021 also announced an enhanced offer for workers aged 50 and over to ensure that older workers receive the support they need to remain in or return to work and benefit from fuller working lives.<\/p>"}

At each fiscal event HM Treasury has regularly published distributional analysis of the impact of tax, welfare and spending decisions on households.<\/p>
<\/p>
The aim of the government\u2019s distributional analysis is to present a comprehensive picture of the net effect of tax or welfare changes on household incomes, as well as the impact of public spending decisions, in the round. As each policy decision will have a different effect on households, presenting the total impact over a relatively long time period provides a more robust, comprehensive and stable approach than looking at every policy individually.<\/p>
<\/p>
Distributional analysis published at Spring Statement 2022 shows that in 2024-25, the tax, welfare and spending decisions made since Spending Round 2019 (SR19) will have benefitted the poorest households most (as a percentage of income). The impact of government policy since SR19 on the bottom four deciles is expected to be worth more than £1,000 a year, while there will have been a net benefit on average for the poorest 80% of households.<\/p>

The government is committed to enabling disabled people and those with long-term health conditions to live fulfilling and independent lives. Spring Statement announced a substantial package of measures worth over £22 billion in 2022-23 to help households with the cost of living, which will benefit disabled people both in and out of work. This includes an additional £500m for the Household Support Fund to help households with the cost of essentials such as food, clothing, and utilities. In England, the fund will continue to be distributed to Local Authorities, who are best placed to direct help to those who need it most, including those with disabilities.<\/p>
In addition, the Spring Statement allocated £25.3 million to Local Authorities across England for the installation of over 500 life-enhancing Changing Places public toilets, providing targeted support for people with severe disabilities.<\/p>
The Spring Statement measures should be seen alongside the significant multi-year support for disabled people that was already announced in the 2021 Autumn Budget and Spending Review, which included over £1.1 billion of investment to help those with disabilities secure and sustain employment, and £2.6 billion for new school places for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities in England.<\/p>
The government recognises that a disability or long-term health condition can have a significant impact on the cost of living at the best of times. We continue to invest heavily in the welfare system to support disabled people both in and out of work, and in 2022-23 we are currently forecast to spend over £64 billion on benefits to support disabled people and people with health conditions in Great Britain. This is around 2.5% of UK GDP.<\/p>"}
