Sir Keir Starmer, the welfare system, which is expected to save £ 5 billion per year, has faced a reaction from some workers’ deputies to reform.

The legislation submitted to Parliament on Wednesday includes the tightening of criteria for the main disability payment in the UK, Payment of Personal Independence (PIP).

Ministers also want to interrupt the element of the universal Credit (UC) and to have access to it, so that only those who are 22 years and older can claim it.

The reform package aims to encourage more people’s benefits of illness and work, but dozens of labor rebellion said last month that the suggestions were “impossible to support”.

The PIP is a benefit that aims to assist extra life costs if someone has long -term physical or mental health or disability and difficulty in doing certain daily tasks or having difficulty walking.

The latest data released on Tuesday showed that 3.7 million people in England and Wales demanded the PIP from 2.05 million in 2019 in 2019 and that young people and young adults constitute an increasing part of plaintiffs.

According to an impact assessment published on Wednesday, approximately 800,000 people will benefit from the government’s suggestions.

The impact assessment also confirmed a possible estimation that 250,000 more people, including 50,000 children at 2029/2030, to relative poverty after housing costs, but the government repeated that the annual financing of £ 1 billion for measurements to support people to work.

Changes in the universal loan are expected to be influenced by 2.25 million existing recipients with an estimated health element and an average of £ 500 is lost annually.

However, the government is expected to earn an average of £ 265 annually from the standard UC allowance increase of approximately 3.9 million households, which are not in three health elements.

Liz Kendall, Secretary of Labor and Pension, points to the moment when we take the path of compassion, opportunity and dignity, ”the legislation said.

However, Neil Duncan-Jordan, one of the Backbencher, who opposes the change of Poyle, said that the government called the government “hurry” and called to rethink the ministers.
