The UK government announces reforms to reform the “broken” welfare system

Liz Kendall, Minister of Labor and Pensions, will clarify the “right to try to ensure” that guarantees that people looking to return to the workforce will not be automatically removed to do so.

Experts and charities complain that the current system discourages people from finding work by threatening to remove their benefits once a work is found.

Kendall will say that “the right to try to ensure” means that when those with the benefits of taking a job, this will not be automatically considered a relevant change in circumstances that will lead to reassessment by the authorities.

The Minister’s announcement comes before a controversial package of measures designed to reduce government expenditures on health benefits.

The measures, which will be determined in a healthy sheet and green disability on Tuesday, are designed to reduce the benefits bill by up to 5 billion pounds annually. Rachel Reeves, Chancellor, said on Friday that the government “must obtain a grip” on the “broken” interest system.

However, the plan has already pushed a deep absence between some charitable institutions and many work deputies who are afraid to influence some of the most vulnerable people in society. Fears about the package were raised at an unusually normal cabinet meeting on Tuesday by senior ministers.

Kendall is expected to reduce the highest rate of regular benefit. Those who are considered inappropriate to work are paid more than 800 pounds per month – twice the number for job seekers.

At the same time, it is expected to increase the basic support rate for people out of work, known as global credit.

Experts have long argued that the low level of unemployment subsidies may have prompted more people with basic health conditions to demand an additional deficiency and disability.

The National Institute for Economic and Social Research said last week that “UC” did not cover the costs of necessities for more than 14 years, regardless of a short period during the Covid’s pandemic when the government gave it a temporary rise.

The most controversial element in repairs is expected to be the changes in eligibility standards in favor of a separate benefit called “PIPS” which is a separate type of disability. The expenses on PIP recipients have increased by more than 1 million claims to 3M since 2019 and are expected to continue to rise.

The Times said on Saturday that a million people are facing their advantages cut under the repair of the comprehensive, which means that only the most disabled will qualify. Payments will be rejected for many people who suffer from mental health conditions and those who suffer from washing and eating and wearing their clothes. It is also expected that people who need to help hear the new threshold and may lose payments.

“The tightening of the evaluation will be a catastrophic step and leads to hundreds of thousands of disabled people who are pushed to poverty,” said James Taylor from the charitable range.

“The reforms will ensure a severe patient, and persons with disabilities are always protected with a long -term benefits’ bill placing a more sustainable stem to cancel growth insurance as part of our plan for change, “said a government official.
