Spending on health and disability-related benefits has ballooned since the Covid pandemic, and has been forecast to increase from £65bn a year currently to £100bn by 2029.are the result of months of work but they have become more urgent with the worsening economic backdrop, which has made it more difficult for the government to meet its self-imposed rules on borrowing and spending.

It will become harder to qualify for the daily living component of Pip, which is for people who need help with everyday tasks and starts at £72.65 a week.There will be no change to the mobility component, for those who need help getting around.
Kendall told the BBC details on how many people would be affected would be set out alongside Chancellor Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement next week.
