Two severely disabled men have won a legal challenge against the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) which could result in around 50,000 benefit claimants across the UK on Universal Credit receiving a share of a £150million payout.
On Friday, the High Court in London ruled that the two claimants, known as TP and AR, who lost money moving from legacy benefits on to Universal Credit, were discriminated against by the DWP.
Mirror Online reports that the two men were both receiving an additional £180 each month in their legacy benefits payments before being switched to Universal Credit.
