Welfare conditionality and disabled people in the UK: claimants' perspectives

McNeill, J; Scullion, LC; Jones, KE; Stewart, A

Abstract

In order to fully understand the impact of the extension of conditionality in the UK to include people with impairments, it is vital to give voice to those with direct experience of the welfare system. The case studies that follow are taken from interviews carried out as part of a project called Welfare Conditionality: Sanctions, Support and Behaviour Change. This is a major five-year programme of research running from 2013-2018, funded under the Economic and Social Research Council’s Centres and Large Grants Scheme (ESRC grant ES/K002163/2).
