Disability benefit claimants may be granted more time to adjust before Labour’s proposed welfare reforms take effect, as Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer reportedly considers making “tweaks” to the controversial plan.
According to The Times, Starmer is exploring ways to soften the impact of the Government’s proposed changes to the Personal Independence Payment (PIP) scheme. The reforms, which aim to tighten eligibility criteria in a bid to save £5 billion annually, have sparked significant backlash, including the threat of a major backbench rebellion.
