DWP chief won't rule out further benefit cuts before next autumn
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"More welfare reforms must happen, the new work and pensions secretary has said, refusing to rule out further changes to universal credit in the near future. Pat McFadden said he was not ruling anything out when asked about future benefit cuts, adding that welfare reform is really important. At the moment, this system is unhealthy for people and in the long run is pushing up the benefits bill because we're not getting the help to people who could work, he told the BBC."
The Independent requests donations to support on-the-ground journalism covering issues from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech. The Independent highlights investigations such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary, 'The A Word', about American women fighting for reproductive rights. The Independent maintains free access without paywalls and relies on supporters who can afford to fund quality journalism. The new work and pensions secretary, Pat McFadden, said more welfare reforms may be necessary and refused to rule out changes to universal credit. Potential measures include tightening eligibility, restricting the health element until age 22, and PIP changes are on hold pending a review by Sir Stephen Timms.
