The UK government has pulled back on plans to cut Personal Independence Payment (PIP) for current claimants after strong pushback from Labour MPs. This move shields around 2 million disabled people from severe financial losses and delays wider reforms until a full review with disability groups is complete.

The UK government’s £6 billion welfare overhaul introduces strict PIP assessments and payment freezes, hitting disabled people the hardest. Universal Credit is restructured to promote work, granting higher allowances for some but slashing support for many with severe health conditions.
