Labour revolt looms as DWP PIP cuts still on table - have your say

  • The UK Government plans to introduce new legislation this week aiming to cut about £5 billion annually from welfare, mainly targeting Personal Independence Payments .
  • The reforms stem from government insistence that changes are necessary to make welfare benefits sustainable for future recipients amid rising PIP claims.
  • Key proposals include altering PIP eligibility criteria, delaying Universal Credit access until age 22, reintroducing reassessments for some incapacity benefit claimants, and scrapping the Work Capability Assessment.
  • A recent government impact assessment estimates that these changes could push 250,000 people, including 50,000 children in England, Scotland, and Wales, into relative poverty after housing costs.
  • Over 100 Labour MPs plan to rebel against the cuts, reflecting parliamentary opposition that may complicate the government's attempt to implement its welfare reforms.
