Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall had been planning to freeze personal independence payments (PIP) to tackle Britain's spiralling welfare bill, but the proposals are said to have been ditched.

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall had planned the cuts to address Britain's rising welfare bill. The proposed changes to PIP have angered Labour MPs. Ministers aim to cut £6 billion from the welfare bill by encouraging people back to work, as the welfare budget has increased significantly since the pandemic.
