💨 Abstract

The government plans to reform the Personal Independence Payment (Pip) disability benefit, but charities warn it may leave individuals unable to afford basic necessities, potentially leading to homelessness.

Changes to Pip could be part of the government's upcoming welfare reform plans, with details expected today.
