DWP reveals huge crackdown on benefits bill and Jobcentre changes - how it could affect you

Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has published the Get Britain Working White Paper, marking Labour's first major intervention to achieve an ambitious 80% employment rate
The Labour Party has announced a significant overhaul of the UK's benefits system, aiming to address the rising number of people out of work due to long-term sickness.

The initiative also involves enhancing mental health support, providing more personalized employment support, and ensuring that Universal Credit works effectively for all claimants. This comes in response to the increasing economic inactivity, with over 2.5 million people currently out of work due to long-term health issues, a situation exacerbated by the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic.
