Milburn review calls for ending PIP for under-25s, proposes youth allowance and local fund
Alan Milburn’s government-commissioned review of youth worklessness recommended ending personal independence payments for most under-25s and replacing them with a universal-credit-based youth allowance and a locally managed fund for short-term disability expenses, the report said. The recommendations were presented in the review’s final document released this week.
Earlier drafts of the review had outlined a shift of under-25s from the health element of universal credit to education, training and job-placement programmes, together with a lower-rate allowance and a multi-billion-pound employment-support package. The proposals also called for a standard youth allowance to replace existing sickness benefits for young people.
