Government launches new panel to advise ministers on how to get people with neurodiversity into employment.

Announcement comes ahead of long-awaited welfare reforms which will aim to push those on incapacity benefits due to sickness or health conditions into work.

Minister for social security and disability said just one in three people in work.

Sir Stephen Timms cited a reluctance among employers to introduce adjustments as a reason behind low employment rate.

Liz Kendall will set out how savings can be made with the reforms to sickness and disability benefits.

She has pledged to ensure all disabled people are able to work.

Some people on sick and disabled benefits will lose their current exemptions from looking for work.

Kendall has also announced plans for better support for businesses using Jobcentres to fill vacancies.
