Effects of possible changes to the Disability Support Pension

Proposed changes to the Disability Support Pension would increase hardship for 120,000 people with disabilities, according to this report, without significantly reducing the number of people on social security. The report expresses support for the government\u27s goal of increasing workforce participation for people with disabilities, but argues that this can only be achieved through more and better employment assistance for people with disabilities, encourage employers to give them work and assist people with the costs of working to make it financially worthwhile
