Welfare Reform 2012: Incapacity Benefit
Tuesday 17th April, 12.30pm-5pm
Ø Do you work with people who are unemployed because of health problems?
Ø Are you confused by the journey from Incapacity Benefit (IB) onto Employment Support Allowance and the Work Programme?
Ø Does your organisation provide support that could help people undergoing this process?
Ø Do you want to explore possibly opportunities for partnership bids relating to health and work?
This EDN/HSCF event will:
· Provide clear information about IB Reform
· Create a visual map of the provision of support available
· Feature roundtable discussions on the issues arising
· Include a Q&A with Work Programme primes, Jobcentre Plus, VCS health and employment groups
The event will close with a commitment from each sector about concrete actions we can take to address the needs of IB claimants undergoing the Work Capability Assessment and beyond. Following the event we will create a directory of available provision in order to enable clearer referral pathways between services.

This event is jointly hosted by Hackney’s Economic Development Network (EDN) and the Hackney Health and Social Care Forum (HSCF), which are both part of the Hackney Community Empowerment Network. For more information please see our websites:
