US EditionBenefit claimants could get more time to seek support before welfare cuts
- The Government is considering extending the period for disability benefit recipients to access support before implementing £5 billion in welfare reductions.
- This consideration follows Labour's efforts to soften the impact amid anger from about 100 MPs over tighter eligibility for personal independence payment .
- A transitional period before the cuts is planned to reduce backlash and encourage more working-age people on benefits to find jobs.
- Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner indicated on Sunday that the earliest opportunity to announce any changes would be during the upcoming Spending Review scheduled for mid-June.
- The proposed delay suggests the Government aims to manage political resistance while pursuing welfare reforms focused on employment incentives.
