The Government of the UK announces reforming to repair the ‘broken’ social welfare system

Liz Kendall, a workman for work and pensions, will today set plans for “the right to try a guarantee” that will ensure that people who want to return to the workforce will not automatically eliminate their benefits of disability.

Experts and charity organizations complain that the current system discourages people to find a job threatening to remove their benefits as soon as they find employment.

Kendall will say that “the right to try the guarantee” would mean that when those who have fees attempt to take over the job, this will not automatically be considered a relevant change in circumstances that will cause re -evaluation of the government.

The Minister’s announcement comes in front of a controversial package of measures intended to reduce government costs on health benefits.

The measures, which will be determined on Tuesday in green paper for health and disability, are designed to reduce the benefit account for up to £ 5 billion a year. Rachel Reeves, Chancellor, said on Friday that the Government “must attract” on the “broken” system of benefits.

But the plan has already encouraged deep anxiety among some charity organizations and many work of work that affects some of the most vulnerable people in society. The concern about the package was set up at an unusually heated cabinet meeting on Tuesday by older ministers.

Kendall is expected to reduce the highest rate of benefits from incompetence. Those who are considered inappropriate for work are currently paid more than £ 800 a month – twice as much as the job seekers.

At the same time, it is expected to increase the basic rate of support for people without work, known as Universal Credit.

Experts have long claimed that low levels of unemployed fees have encouraged more people with basic health conditions that have requested additional incompetence and benefits for disability.

The National Institute of Economic and Social Research last week said that “UC” did not cover the costs of basic things for more than 14 years, except for a short period during the pandemic of Kovida when the Government gave a temporary increase.

The most controversial element of the reform is expected to be changes in the acceptability criteria for a separate benefit called “PRIPS PRESSE” (PIPS), which is a separate type of benefit from disability. The costs for PIP recipients have increased by more than 1 Mn of the applicant at 3mn since 2019 and is predicted to continue growth.

The Times reported on Saturday that one million people face their advantages cut within the overhaul of PIPS, which means that only the strongest disabled will qualify. Payments would be rejected by many people with mental health conditions and those who struggle with washing, eating and dressing. People who need the hearing an apparatus are also expected to fall below the new threshold and can lose payments.

James Taylor from a charity scope said: “The reinforcement of the assessment would be a catastrophic move and resulted in hundreds of thousands of more disabled people who were pushed into poverty.”

The government official said: “Reforms will provide seriously ill and people with disabilities are always protected, and at the same time the proposals of the Sustainable Basis Act puts a long -term basis on the basis to unlock growth as part of our plan for change.”
