The government of Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled reforms of invalidity services which, according to them, will save more than 5 billion pounds sterling per year by the end of the decade, in a decision which is likely to rekindle the greatest rebellion of rear ban in its Prime Minister.
The plans, presented by the British secretary of work and pensions, Liz Kendall on Tuesday, would reduce the invalidity and inability services to hundreds of thousands of people by the 2029-30 exercise.
The Labor government, which seeks to fill a budgetary gap in its plans, argues that without reform, the costs of well-being of Great Britain will be in balloon and a generation of young risks lacking incentive incentives.
But the proposals, described in an advisory green newspaper, have already triggered a generalized reaction within the work, the deputies and the voters saying that the government should not target the poorest of society.
The most important changes in the system concern the tightening of eligibility rules for personal independence payments, the main form of invalidity service. It would make people suffering from people with mental health problems and the less serious physical difficulties to receive support.
The Labor Party seeks to find billions of savings pounds before the spring declaration of March 26 of Chancellor Rachel Reeves, due to the recent projections of the Card of the independent budget of the United Kingdom which indicated that the government’s tax room for the maneuver is narrowed.
