A DWP consultation into reforming disability benefits has been declared "unlawful" by the courts which could impact the Government's saving plans
The judge said " "The DWP’s revelation that they carried out absolutely no employment or disability impact assessment has confirmed my fears," that the government's sole intention was to save money by cutting disability benefits and making them harder to access, with the only motivation being to reduce welfare spending, giving no thought at all to how this will affect the disabled.
