    High Court rules disability benefit reforms plan as unlawful – but Labour remains committed to cuts

    Labour said it will ‘re-consult’ on the Conservative plans, but the government is looking to find the same savings

    High Court rules disability benefit reforms plan as unlawful – but Labour remains committed to cuts

     The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) consultation into plans to cut billions in disability benefits has been ruled unlawful by the High Court for being “unfair and misleading”.

    The planned changes, focused on an overhaul of the work capability assessment (WCA), would have seen nearly half a million claimants worse off by as much as £416.19 a month.

    Although drawn up by the previous Conservative administration, Labour has said it remains committed to the £1.3 billion a year in spending cuts the plans were set to deliver.

    The new government has not clarified how it will achieve this, however, with a new consultation set to be launched in the spring.
