Work and Pensions sec sets out overhaul of benefits system

An overhaul of the welfare system will see the assessment process for some health benefits scrapped and reform to disability benefits in a plan expected to save billions over the next five years.

Reforms to disability benefits are expected to save more than ÂŁ5 billion in 2029/30, Liz Kendall has said.
