Welfare bill will now lift 50,000 out of poverty after U-turns, assessment finds | Poverty
In the face of an updated impact assessment on proposals to reduce disability aids, the government’s changes in the welfare bill will remove 50,000 people in the face of proposals to reduce disability benefits.
The Prime Minister was forced to interrupt the central board of the welfare bill – personal independence payment (PIP) to prevent a great labor rebellion in the House of Commons last week.
A New Impact Assessment The Ministry of Labor and Pension found that change in 2030 meant that 50,000 less people, including children and age individuals after housing costs, were in relative poverty.
The original government impact assessment found that the proposed reforms would push 250,000 to more poverty. Some charity institutions, the figure is higher, he said.
This was changed to 150,000 people, including the government’s first concessions, including the government’s reversal of some universal credit deductions and applying more solid PIP compliance rules only to new plaintiffs.
Finally, Keir Starmer put the government on the shelf of the main component of the deductions expected to save £ 5 billion per year, and the Decision Foundation estimates that the bill will not bring any savings in five years.
It means that the chancellor is facing a large financial hole, and tax increases are now estimated.
The Treasury Chief Secretary ignored the implementation of a reserve tax when future tax increases were printed at Commons on Monday and said that tax decisions would be determined by chancellor in the autumn budget.
On Sunday, Educational Secretary Bridget Phillipson claimed that the welfare U-transformation could scrape two children’s benefit limits. “Decisions taken last week are forcing decisions, future decisions even more,” he said.
