Keir Starmer is digging in his heels over controversial plans to slash disability benefits, brushing off mounting fury from his own MPs. As tempers flare and a crucial July vote looms, the PM refuses to back down on changes to PIP.
The Government’s proposed reforms have sparked panic among millions of PIP claimants, with fears that thousands could end up losing their disability benefits. One of the biggest changes would mean that someone must score at least four points in a single activity area to qualify for the daily living element of PIP, which is currently worth up to £110 a week. That’s a huge shift from how the system currently works, and it’s left people understandably worried, reported Leeds Live.
