The Plan: for a Decent Social Security System

The Commission on Social Security: the Plan

The Plan is our blueprint to reset the social security system and establish a new structure built on dignity, respect and decency. It presents detailed recommendations, based on involvement from more than 1000 people, and workshops with over 300 Deaf and Disabled people and other members of our network.

The recommendations include

  • Introduce a Guaranteed Decent Income

  • Replace PIP with a new additional costs non means tested benefit - co-produced with Deaf and disabled people.

  • Develop a new ethos - of respect, dignity and support. 

  • Say prevention is better than cure - so address issues like housing and childcare at source.
