💨 Abstract

Chancellor Rachel Reeves introduced welfare reforms, including cuts to Universal Credit and the Personal Independence Payment (Pip), aiming to incentivize work. However, these cuts have drawn criticism, especially from those who rely on these benefits. In Leeds, Anastasia Tempest, who has cerebral palsy, highlighted the lack of support for disabled individuals seeking work, as a local program, Pathways to Progress, lost funding.
