💨 Abstract

Yesterday, the UK Parliament passed a welfare bill after a sudden change. Originally, it included controversial measures to the Personal Independence Payment (Pip) disability benefit, but these were scrapped at the last minute. The government faced criticism for the reversal, with some arguing it would lead to higher taxes and others worrying about the impact on disabled people. Charities expressed concerns about the remaining changes to Universal Credit, highlighting potential harm to disabled individuals.
