As these reforms to Personal Independence Payment (PIP) and Limited Capability for Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) gain momentum, the Liberal Democrats have raised concerns over the looming threat of increased poverty and pressure on local services. Despite various warnings and appeals for action, local leaders remain divided, with some politicians dismissing the severity of the situation, whereas others urge immediate assistance for at-risk constituents.
These proposed welfare cuts will lead to more than 15,000 households in Southwark losing support, totaling £33 million stripped from residents receiving disability-related payments.
