The UK government announces the reforms to correct the “broken” well -being system

Liz Kendal, the secretary of labor and pensions, today will present plans for “right to guarantee”, which will provide people who seek to return to the workforce, will not receive their disability help automatically.

Experts and charities complain that the current system prevents people from finding a job, threatening to remove their benefits as soon as they find work.

Kendal will say that the “right to guarantee” will mean that if those who try to take a job, it will not be automatically considered the appropriate change of circumstances that causes the power of reassessment.

The announcement of the minister is ahead of the controversial package of measures aimed at reducing state costs to help with health.

The measures to be laid on green for health and disability on Tuesday are designed to reduce the bill for help to up to £ 5 billion a year. On Friday, Rachel Rivz, Chancellor, said the government “should capture” in the “broken” assistance system.

But this plan has already caused deep concern among some charitable organizations and many work deputies who are afraid of influence on some of the most vulnerable people in society. Concerned by the package on Tuesday arose at an unusually hot session of the Cabinet.

Kendal is expected to reduce the high speed of disability. Those who are considered unusable are currently paying more than 800 pounds a month – to double the number for the searchers.

At the same time, it is expected to increase the main support for people who do not work known as the Universal Credit.

Experts have long claimed that low unemployment benefits have forced more people with basic health conditions to require additional disability and disability assistance.

Last week, the National Institute for Economic and Social Research stated that “UC” did not cover the cost of more than 14 years, except for a short period during a pandemic when the government gave it a temporary rise.

It is expected that the most controversial elements of reforms will be changes in the fitness criteria for a separate benefit called “Personal Independence” (PIPS), which are a separate type of disability benefits. Since 2019, the cost of PIP recipients has grown by more than 1 mn, and usually continue to rise.

The Times reported on Saturday that a million people are facing the fact that their benefits have declined under the overhaul of Pips, which means that only the most disabled will claim. Payments will be denied to many people with mental health conditions and those who fight with washing, food and dressing. It is expected that people who need the hearing aid also fall below the new threshold and can reproduce payments.

James Taylor said from the charitable sphere: “Delaying the assessment will be a catastrophic step and will lead to hundreds of thousands of more disabled people will be pushing for poverty.”

The government official said: “The reforms will provide heavily ill and disabled people who will always be protected, as well as invest a bill on payments on a more sustainable basis in the long run to unlock the growth within our plan for changes.”
