LABOUR ACCUSED OF GAMBLING WITH DISABLED YOUNG PEOPLE’S FUTURES AS £6BN WELFARE SHAKE-UP SPARKS OUTRAGE - Conservative Post

Summary

The UK Labour Government is considering replacing Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and the health-related element of Universal Credit for under-25s with a new allowance system, potentially leaving some young disabled people financially worse off. The proposed £6 billion welfare shake-up would accompany employment support, but the Government has not yet confirmed payment rates, eligibility criteria, or whether the promised employment support will materialise.
