Webchat with James Purnell MP Secretary of State, on the 22nd July 2008. See this link on the Department for Work & Pensions website. 

The debate is on and the Consultation document can be found on the DWP consultations pages by clicking here - "No one written off: reforming welfare to reward responsibility".

This is one way you can empower yourself in the decisions made about the benefits you receive now or may need in the future.  It is a public consultation so your response is welcome.

I note many questions were asked about Mental Health & Multiple Barriers to Employment.  I note one question about the need for suitably qualified and trained personnel dealing with claims.  The Secretary of State mentioned stigma many times especially in relation to mental health.  When the debate is published on Hansard I will link to it.
