  The Government is expected to lay out its plans to cut sickness and disability benefits by the spring, with the Treasury warning of 'difficult' spending decisions

The article from MSN discusses anticipated changes to the UK's welfare system, focusing on potential cuts to benefits like Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Universal Credit. The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is reportedly planning these adjustments as part of a broader effort to manage public spending. The changes could include stricter eligibility criteria for PIP, which supports individuals with long-term health conditions or disabilities, and modifications to Universal Credit, possibly affecting work requirements or benefit levels. These reforms are expected to be detailed in an upcoming announcement, with implications for millions of claimants. The government aims to encourage employment and reduce welfare dependency, but critics argue that these cuts could disproportionately impact the most vulnerable, potentially leading to increased hardship.
