DLA reform impact assessment

 Link here: www.dwp.gov.uk/docs/dla-reform-wr2011-ia.pdf
 these are the 'highlights'
when the document asks: Description and scale of key monetised benefits by ‘main affected groups’
this is the answer...

Net reductions in benefit expenditure from focussing support on disabled people with greatest needs will lead to benefits for taxpayers and the exchequer.


Part 12. It
12.
There will be net costs to individuals from reductions in benefit expenditure from focussing support on those with greatest needs. These are assumed to be the same as the savings to the exchequer of £2,170m.

15.
If the new benefit results in a better understanding of the benefit including that it is available in work then it is possible that this will lead to more disabled people moving into work, resulting in benefits to the economy, individual and also to the exchequer through increased revenue from taxation.

Why not just make people aware of this under DLA?

theres an interesting table at point 17.
