    Long-term sick may need to find jobs

    Long-term sick may need to find jobs. As Liz Kendall blamed the Conservatives for failing to control welfare spending. Long-term sick may need to find jobs in Liz Kendall’s welfare shake-up. The £137.4bn welfare cap set for 2024-25 is on course to be exceeded by £8.6bn. Which is leading to unfair cost-cutting by Labour.

    Concerned citizens on social media have posted their disgust in the decision and are suggesting there are billions to be saved by the government in other areas of government expenditure. With a some suggesting the UK should cut aid to Israel before cutting it to the sick in the UK.

    Work and pensions secretary Liz Kendall is also preparing to make it harder for people with mental health issues to claim separate disability benefits in the biggest shake-up of the welfare system in a decade.

    According to The Times, she is looking to stop the long-term sick from being paid benefits without requirements and is likely to slash financial incentives that can see them paid twice as much as jobseekers.

    “The Tories failed on welfare because they failed on work. This Labour government recognises that many sick and disabled people want to work, given the right support, but are unfairly shut out,” a government source told The Times.

    Removing the Universal Credit

    One option being considered is removing the Universal Credit category of “limited capability for work”, which would mean claimants would lose roughly £5,000 a year and also need to prepare to return to work.

    Ministers are said to be keen to axe the work capability assessment, while Personal Independent Payments – separate disability benefits – could also be overhauled and slash financial incentives for the sick.

    Ms Kendall has previously blamed the Conservatives for failing to control welfare spending.
