Report urges fast-track disability benefits for severely disabled young people

A review led by Alan Milburn recommends that young people whose complex disabilities mean they have little prospect of paid employment should get fast-track access to disability benefits. The proposal, reported by The Guardian, is drawing attention to how the benefits system assesses severely disabled claimants, with debate expected over cost, fairness and the pace of reform.

Why now: The Milburn review's recommendations touch a sensitive ongoing debate about disability benefits and welfare reform.
