Thousands of sick or disabled people will be spared gruelling reassessments for their benefits under Labour, the party will announce on Tuesday.
Welfare chief Jonathan Ashworth will allow claimants to try paid work - and if it does not work out within a year, they can return to the exact benefits they were on, with no fresh health assessments.
People with the most serious health conditions no longer have to face reassessments for benefits under reforms in recent years. While ESA depends partly on employment status, those who claim PIP can also continue claiming it regardless of whether they’re in work.
