UK government announces reforms to fix ‘broken’ welfare system
Liz Kendall, the work and the Pension Secretary will present programs to “try to test” to return to labor to make their own disability benefits.
Experts and charities complain that the current system discourages people to find a job, threatening to remove their benefits.
The ces will say that “the right to try” would mean that when the benefits are trying to work, it will not be automatically considered a change in the corralation of the authorities.
The statement of the Minister is moving forward on the controversial package of measures to cut the government’s expenses on health benefits.
Tuesday’s Health and Disability Green Measures are designed to reduce 5 billion pounds a year. Friday, Chancellor Rachel Reves said that the government should “catch” on the “broken” benefits system.
But the plan has already caused deep concern among some charities and many working deputies who are afraid of some vulnerable people in society. Concerns about the package have increased on Tuesday, the unusually heated meeting of the government by the Senior Ministers.
Kendall is expected to cut the high level of incapacity benefit. Individuals needed for work are currently paid for more than 800 pounds per month. Double figure for job seekers.
At the same time, he expects to increase the main support indicator of people outside of work, known as a universal loan.
Experts have long claimed that the low level of unemployment benefits more people to health conditions for additional incapacity and disability benefits.
Last week, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research noted that “UC” did not cover the value of the need for more than 14 years, except during the epidemic, when the government gave it a temporary increase.
The most contradictory element of reforms is planned to be amended the changes in the “Independent Independence Payments” (PIPS) standards. Pip recipients have increased more than 1 million plaintiffs since 2019 and have predicted to grow.
The times that one million people face their benefits, which are cut down under the renovation of cuttings, which means that it will be only more severely disabled. Payments will be rejected by many people in mental health and those who are fighting to wash, eat and dress. Persons in need of hearing assistance are also expected to be below the new threshold and may lose payments.
