UK Welfare Shake-Up: PIP, UC Cuts and the 600,000 at Risk

from Beyond the Label · host Beyond the Label

We unpack the UK government’s plan to scrap the Work Capability Assessment and tie Universal Credit health support to PIP, exploring why the change could leave hundreds of thousands without help. The conversation also examines stricter eligibility rules, frozen support for new claimants, and the flawed idea that financial pressure can “incentivize” disabled people into work.
