== UK disability benefits changes == Mansel Aylward is the architect of the United Kingdom's social security welfare reforms, which are now based on a [[biopsychosocial model]] for all illnesses, replacing the previous medical model.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=https://www.disabilitynewsservice.com/biopsychosocial-basis-for-benefit-cuts-is-cavalier-unevidenced-and-misleading/ | title = ‘Biopsychosocial’ basis for benefit cuts is ‘cavalier, unevidenced and misleading’ | last = Pring|first = John | authorlink=John Pring | date = Jun 9, 2016 | website = Disability News Service|language=en-GB|archive-url=|archive-date=|url-status=|access-date=2019-03-04}}</ref> The controversial reforms have been included introducing a Work Capability Assessment, replacing disability benefits like Incapacity Benefit with Employment Support Allowance, and replacing Disability Living Allowance with Personal Independence Payments. The reforms and the lack of evidence to justify the biopsychosocial approach have been criticised as "cavalier, unevidenced and misleading",<ref name=":0" /> and successive government ministers have claimed that cutting rates for disability benefits "helps" disabled people back into work.
