Disability and Carers Benefits Expert Advisory Group: review

Structure of this report

The report starts with background information on DACBEAG followed by a summary of research methods used in this review. Research findings are then presented in three separate chapters. The first of these chapters identifies some of the key issues around the remit and purpose of the Group. The second chapter focuses on the effectiveness and impact of advice produced to date. It identifies four areas where improvements can be made in terms of the nature of advice the Group offers. Finally, the third chapter engages with more generic issues related to the Group's functioning by identifying what respondents to the survey questionnaire and interviewees perceived as strengths and weaknesses of the Group. The report ends with conclusions and recommendations.
