The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) warns around hundreds of thousands of people could see their limited capability for work and work-related activity (LCWRA) payments cut
A Universal Credit change could see 520,000 claimants lose out £390 a month. Around 520,000 claimants could see their limited capability for work and work-related activity payments stopped if the government's new planned Universal Credit reforms come into place, Birmingham Live reports.
"On the whole, this strengthens financial incentives to work, but getting the reform right will rely on work coaches’ ability to set personalised work requirements that take into account what recipients can reasonably be expected to do – despite there being no formal test of capacity to work and work coaches typically having no medical training."
