Benefits crackdown unveiled with aim to save £5bn a year by 2030
The government has unveiled sweeping changes to the benefits system, aimed at saving £5bn a year by 2030.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the overhaul would create a more "pro-work system" to encourage people to take up jobs, while protecting those who cannot work.
The changes will make it harder for people with less severe conditions to claim disability payments. Extra benefit payments for health conditions will also be frozen for current claimants and nearly halved for new applicants.
And people aged under 22 could be prevented from claiming universal credit top-up payments for health conditions.
