The Work and Pensions Committee has claimed 100,000
families with children deemed “less disabled” will receive less money under
Universal Credit than through tax credits. It said ministers’ promises to
ensure “severely disabled” people will get more benefits under Universal Credit
than the old welfare system will come at a cost to those not deemed severely
disabled. The committee also raised concerns that the removal of disability premiums
“risks disabled people living more isolated lives, relying on unpaid care –
including from their own, dependent children – or simply being unable to
complete certain basic daily tasks”. Read more on Inside Housing.
