The Resolution Foundation warns that the proposed cuts to disability benefits are poorly thought out and could leave 420,000 vulnerable individuals losing up to £4,900 a year.
Mike Brewer emphasized the need to reassess the plans, stating, 'These changes disproportionately affect lower-income households... they should be delayed if not cancelled until they are.'
The proposed changes are part of a budget strategy that has already included contentious cuts to winter fuel payments and ongoing issues with the two-child benefit cap.
Critics express concern that the government's long-term strategy risks legal challenges by inadequately supporting those with disabilities who are unable to work.
