New research from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) found that many sick and disabled people say they want to work to help boost their living standards, but aren’t given the right support.

The data, published on ‘Time to Talk’ day (February 6), shows that nearly half (44%) of people with a mental health condition expect to be able to work in future if their situation improves.

It comes as the number of young people aged 16 to 34 who are economically inactive due to long-term sickness and have a mental condition reaches 270,000.

The DWP said that number has been rising consistently over the past decade and has increased by 60,000 (26%) in the last year alone - the equivalent figure for all people of working-age (16 to 64) is 790,000 - an increase of 140,000 (22%) over the last year.
