Allow elderly disabled people to claim the state pension early
We think that any disabled person aged 60 who has been unemployed for at least 5 years should be given the choice to retire and claim the state pension immediately.
We think that keeping people on DWPs unemployment list when there is no chance of them ever becoming employed again is extra work for the DWP and extra stress for the disabled person. We think that once someone is above 60 years old and are unemployed their likelihood of being employable is extremely reduced.
