Campaigners warn reform risks child poverty
Reform UK has proposed plans to cut £50 billion annually from the UK benefits system, including reductions to disability payments, restricting claims for non-UK citizens, and introducing unpaid community work for the long-term unemployed. Leaked government analysis suggests that these measures could lead to significant income losses, with some disabled individuals potentially losing up to £10,000 a year, and would push many children and vulnerable populations into poverty and hardship. Campaigners and charities warn that the proposals could result in increased destitution and worsen health outcomes for affected individuals.
