Thousands of people could see their Universal Credit payments reduced if they do not take "active steps" to find more work.
Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng is set to announce a shake-up of the benefits system to "get Britain working again". Part of the scheme will see Universal Credit claimants working part-time targeted.
As it stands, those receiving the benefit and working up to 12 hours a week at the National Living Wage risk having their benefits reduced if they do not take steps to increase their earnings and meet regularly with a work coach.
