The DWP's new approach will directly affect both Universal Credit and PIP claimants across the country
The Department for Work and Pensions will scrap some of the most severe penalties previously planned by the Tories. Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall criticised the Tory plan to take away Universal Credit and PIP claimants' benefits if they failed to secure a job after one year.
She added: "Their divisive rhetoric about strivers versus scroungers or claiming people just felt ‘too bluesy’ to work may have grabbed headlines, but it did absolutely nothing to actually get Britain working again. Latest data from the Office for National Statistics showed the employment rate this March for those aged between 16 to 64 was at 75 per cent - a 1.2 percentage point drop from figures in December 2019 to February 2020.
