Pressure mounts on Rachel Reeves to drop dangerous' 1.3bn cut to benefits for disabled
Briefly

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.
