Disability benefit cuts planned by the UK government will disproportionately impact the lives of people in Wales, campaigners have said.

Research released by the data analytics company Policy in Practice last week estimated that 190,000 people – 6% of the population – could have their incomes slashed by up to 60% by the end of this parliament if eligibility for personal independence payments (Pip) is tightened as proposed in a March green paper.
