Description
“It means that people won’t eat,” says Chief Executive of the UK charity Turn2us Thomas Lawson, as the Labour government announces cuts to disability welfare payments set to save more than £5 billion by 2030. Alicia Cartwright, who suffers from bipolar disorder and receives PIP, a disability benefit, believes the reforms are "going to cause people to have relapses”. Labour insists the cutbacks are essential to help fill a black hole of £22 billion ($29 billion) it claims to have inherited from the Conservatives after last year's election win.
