Since 2015 there has been a steady increase in the number of disabled people in work. From April-June 2015 to April-June 2017 (the latest period for which the Office for National Statistics has published estimates without \u2018health warnings\u2019), the number of disabled people in work increased by 235,000 from 3.3 million to 3.5 million. The disability employment rate in this period increased by 3.3 percentage points, from 45.9% to 49.2%.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Universal Credit helps people with a disability or health condition who are already in work, to remain and progress in work. It is specifically designed so that we can engage with and support people early in and throughout their claim, to give them advice and support \u2013 and not to lose contact with them. All work coaches delivering Universal Credit will receive training on supporting claimants with health conditions.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>On 30 November 2017, we published \u2018Improving Lives: the Future of Work, Health and Disability\u2019, which sets out actions we\u2019re taking in the welfare system, in the workplace and in health services to realise our commitment to see one million more disabled people in work by 2027.<\/p><p> <\/p><p>Our programme is supported by a wide range of \u2018test and learn\u2019 activity designed to build the evidence about what works to support disabled people and those with health conditions to get into and stay in work. Projects worth up to around £1 billion have been launched, including:<\/p><ul><li>up to £500m of investment in the new Work and Health Programme, which we expect to help around 275,000 people over five years, with the majority (around 220,000) being disabled people;<\/li><li>our Personal Support Package, including the investment of £330m for those on the UC/ESA health journey, delivering a range of new interventions and initiatives designed to provide support tailored to the individual needs of claimants;<\/li><li>health-led trials in Sheffield City Region and the West Midlands Combined Authority, which build on the internationally-recognised Individual Placement and Support (IPS) approach to provide employment support in a health setting for people with mild-to-moderate mental and physical health conditions;<\/li><li>more than doubling the number of Employment Advisers in NHS Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (IAPT) services, providing support to adults with depression and a range of anxiety disorders through integrated employment advice and psychological treatment;<\/li><li>recruiting 300 additional Disability Employment Advisers, and introducing 200 new Community Partners to bring more specialist advice and support into the Jobcentre; and<\/li><li>supporting Greater Manchester and the Scottish Government with early intervention initiatives that make it easier and quicker for people to access the right support through a needs assessment, and rapid access to interventions such as occupational health support, mental health and musculoskeletal treatment, and job brokerage.<\/li><\/ul><p> <\/p><p>We have also recently introduced the new Tech Fund in Access to Work, offering employers significant support with the cost of assistive technology; and we\u2019re continuing to build our engagement with employers through Disability Confident, which is growing strongly and now has over 6,800 employers signed up.<\/p>"}

The Department\u2019s published Household Below Average Income National Statistics shows that work continues to offer people the best opportunity to get out of poverty and become self-reliant; adults of working age living in working families are 4 times less likely to be in relative poverty than those living in workless households.<\/p><p>The National Statistics also provide a good understanding of those in in-work poverty and show that the majority (around three-quarters) are those with part-time work only, single earner couples, or those in full-time self-employment. Universal Credit is designed to help by promoting full-time work, employment for partners where possible, and smoother incentives to increase hours. Claimants who are self-employed will have access to mentors to improve their businesses so that they can increase their earnings.<\/p>"}
