Context
In November 2019, the Office for Disability Issues moved from DWP to Cabinet Office's Equalities Hub.
The DWP is preparing a cross-government national disability strategy while losing the Office for Disability Issues. Will this enhance or detract from the eventual strategy?
The Office's move to the Cabinet Office's Equalities Hub does not detract from the priority. The DWP is preparing a Green Paper on welfare system improvements, including roundtables with health condition claimants, highlighting that this remains a government priority.
