Screenshot from the UK Parliament website showing details of a Work and Pensions Committee inquiry titled β€œGet Britain Working: Pathways to Work.” The inquiry is described as a short investigation into the impact of government proposals to reform the disability and health-related benefits system, as outlined in the Pathways to Work Green Paper. The Committee is not calling for evidence but lists three terms of reference:
	1.	To explore the issues with the social security system the Green Paper aims to address;
	2.	To explore evidence of the impact of welfare changes on poverty and employment;
	3.	To explore the experience of sick and disabled people with the current welfare system and their views on the proposed changes.

NEW: The House of Parliament’s Work & Pensions Committee is launching an inquiry into the govt’s welfare reforms. This is good news! It doesn’t stop the fightβ€”it makes it more vital. But it is significant, and it’s thanks to your tireless campaigning & the testimony so many of you have shared.
