Taking the PIP: Government announce welfare reforms

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has announced radical welfare changes to get more people into work and save £5 billion by the end of 2030.

The changes include tightening the eligibility criteria for disability benefits, scrapping a controversial benefits assessment, and raising the basic rate of universal credit while cutting the higher rate for those too ill to work.
