A key chart to understand today's green paper. Govt plans to close the gap between incapacity and unemployment benefits for new claimants. They hope it will reduce claims to incapacity benefits and encourage work but it does mean less support for someone who faces a health shock in future.

Over the last 50 years, successive governments have widened the gap between the basic level of unemployment benefit and the highest level of incapacity benefit.

These changes will significantly narrow that gap.
Chart shows comparing weekly incapacity benefits and unemployment benefit levels over time. Title states: "Over the last 50 years, governments have gradually created a gap between incapacity benefits and unemployment benefits."
