"As disabled people face the biggest cuts to disability benefits on record, I am extremely concerned about the impact on disabled residents in Tower Hamlets."
"I once again urge the Government to reverse these cruel proposals, which will reportedly affect 700,000 families already in poverty."
Tower Hamlets Council warns of a significant financial burden caused by government cuts to disability benefits, totaling an additional £8.5 million spent to support affected residents. An analysis revealed that 16,388 households in the borough will feel the impact from changes in Personal Independent Payments and Limited Capability for Work-related Activity. Campaigners highlight that this could push more individuals into poverty amid increased strain on cash-strapped councils. Tower Hamlets' leadership hopes for a government reversal on these cuts, while also implementing local initiatives to mitigate their effects on vulnerable populations.
