The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Kergad, has unveiled a large shake-up of the country’s welfare system by arguing that the country could save billion bills (.48 billion) by 2008, but a political row was created.
In particular, the government is reducing the benefits of health and disability by making it difficult for people to get government support.
Starr has opposed the rage of charity organizations on the tactics announced this week, also by a think tank and senior members of his own Labor Party.
Prime Minister and Chancellor Rachel Revs argued that after receiving a serious financial position from the previous conservative government, he was forced to spend for 3 years under the leadership of various Prime Minister till July.
The UK government operates a big deficit, meaning that the financial markets have to borrow from the financial markets every month to finance the expenses.
However, the staffer’s critics said that these deductions targeted the most insecure people in the society and argued that the Labor Party, which was established in 1900 from the labor union movement, had lost its intention.
Labor’s sister -in -law Kolm Eastwood, Social Democratic and Labor Party, MP from North Ireland, referred to the fact that the financial support under the reforms and asked in Parliament on Wednesday: “What is a worker?”
COVID -1 (because of the partner) (or continental), the cost of illness and disability has increased in the UK because a large number of people say that they are unable to work and need state help. Experts say they still do not know whether these people have a direct result of Long Cowed. It was easy for people to apply for benefits without individually assessing.
Revees expected Parliament to make more cuts for government expenses in her spring statements next week.
What welfare benefits of the UK government are low?
Savings Billion Billion Billion Pounds will often come from tightening the rules of applying for personal independence payments to people with disabilities or chronic illnesses.
Benefits include living elements and mobility factor daily. PIP is currently paid to 6.6 million people who score their ability to perform food preparation and clothing from zero to 12. The higher the score, the more support will be provided.
From November 2026, people need to get at least four points in an activity to be eligible for a daily living factor. It is important to help to prepare food, shower or wash into things below four points, and to help to dress on the lower body and help to engage with other people.
Under strict rules, peoples who receive PIPs will be more frequently re -evaluating.
PIP payments are approximately 100 pounds ($ 130) a week, and still working peoples can be paid.
The government’s health and disability green paper will boost the support of Universal Credit (UC) for four million families with no health conditions or disability by about $ 3.90 a week, but this is a small part of a broader plan.
How many people will affect?
Starr told Parliament that the fact that people who work 1.8 million do not work due to chronic illness are the “contempt” of its predecessors.
The Resolution Foundation, the Center-Left Think Tank, said that if the government plans to save 5 billion pounds from prevention of PIP by making it difficult to qualify for the “daily living” component, it means that 800,000 to 1.2 million people from 4,200 pounds $ 5,200 pounds ($ 8,170) per $ 2029-20 ($ 8,170).
“The most poor half of income distribution lives live in seven contenders, this loss will be widely concentrated in low -income families. Instead of long -term reforms, it looks like short -term ‘score’ savings exercises,” the resolution said.
What is the logic of this conspiracy?
The cost of health and disability benefits has increased in the UK all over the country (or continent). These benefits are now expected to increase the Billion 65 billion (B 84 billion) a year, and it is estimated to increase up to 2 billion pounds ($ 1 billion) a year. This is more than spending for UK rescue.
Labor says that for those who work, want to be a party and more and more people encouraged.
Minister of Work and Pension Stephen Tims said that these reforms will also save the savings that will protect the welfare of the long run.
He said, “We think we have maintained this system now and we are committed to maintaining it,” he added.
How did the critics of the conspiracy responded?
The opposition party has said that only “hurry” efforts have been made to provide government financing in the short term, and the welfare system is estimated to be 3 billion pounds ($ 2 billion) a year.
The lawyers’ groups expressed their anger at the cut. Consumer benefits representing more than 4 charitable organizations, the Consortium said: “These immoral and destructive benefits reduce the deduction of more disabled people in poverty and the health of the people will be deteriorated.”
Leads East MP Richard Bergon wrote on X: “The government should leave this cruel proposal or face all the rebellion mother.”
Why a person with a disability to eat, wash and manage toilet needs? Why is a disabled person not to get Pipal according to their proposals?
The government should leave this cruel proposal or face all the rebellion mother.

Chairman of the work and pension select committee, Debi Abraham, the labor MP said that there are “more kindness” ways to balance the books “without having to keep the sick and disabled people.”
What will be the financial impact of the cuts?
The government hopes that this deduction will enable it to reduce the debt, free the money for other things. This movement is on the back of one Reducing winter fuel payments For some pensioners last year.
Workers hope that such controversial movements during the post of post will take enough time to boost the economy and impress voters before the next elections, maybe in 2029.
Investment Director of the Stockbroker AJ Bell said, “She hopes that she will be justified on the performance of the entire term of the parliament in the first few months of the labor administration.
“The next election will not take place until August 7th, and the Vice -Chancellor now tried to remove the bad news, hoping that the financial picture looks very bright until the voter turnout is returned to the ballot box.”
Will public expenditure cuts heal the UK economy?
The Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) has reduced the forecast for the UK due to the sluggish growth. But the OECD also suggested that the UK would “have the consequences of the uncertainty of the geographical -political and policy weighing on investment and home costs.”
US President Donald Trump is expected to New rate To create a low -friendly global and home environment for the UK.
Economists said that saving in the welfare payment due to this deduction is less than 1 percent of the total domestic product (GDP). They added that the biggest problem for the UK is that it is pushing for economic growth in the first place.
London’s capital economist Paul Deals said: “Due to this deduction, the total government expenditure will be reduced by about 8.55 percent of GDP. We expect to cut the next 5.55 percent of the GDP.
Reves said more and thorough changes are required to finance government finance. “I don’t think anyone believes that the current system is working,” she told the Reuters News Agency. “It does not work on benefits for people, which needs to come back to work, and at the same time they do not work for taxpayers.”
