The huge changes to the welfare system, due to be announced next week, will see only the most severely disabled people qualify for support amid an overhaul of eligibility criteria.
Labour's benefits crackdown is expected to cut disability payments for one million people, leading to backlash from within the party. The changes, primarily affecting Personal Independence Payment (PIP) recipients, aim to save £5 billion. The reforms include getting rid of the 'work capability assessment' for benefits based on incapacity for work and preparing people with long-term sickness for work.
