The UK government, led by Keir Starmer, is planning welfare cuts to address the rising benefits bill, particularly due to an increase in disability benefit claims, especially for mental health-related issues. The cabinet is united in this effort, aiming to reassess long-term sickness benefits recipients and reform the Personal Independence Payment (PIP). While the government emphasizes a need for fairness and sustainability, the proposed cuts have sparked discontent among Labour MPs and concerns over the impact on claimants.
