Reports suggest the Government could be preparing to abandon plans to freezethe personal independence payment.
Amid speculation that the UK government may freeze Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Health Secretary Wes Streeting declined to comment, urging the public to await the upcoming welfare announcement by Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall. Concerns are mounting that PIP, a key benefit for working-age adults, could face a real-terms cut. Kendall is expected to announce welfare reforms aimed at cutting costs. The SNP criticized the government for allowing "damaging speculation," while Kendall is expected to introduce a "right to try guarantee" to encourage disabled people to work.
