Disability Benefit Changes Causing Concern

The video discusses changes to disability benefits in the UK, specifically the reduction of the walking limit from 50 to 20 meters, which could significantly impact individuals like Stephen who rely on these benefits. The government aims to save £2 billion by replacing Disability Living Allowance (DLA) with Personal Independence Payment (PIP), requiring face-to-face assessments. Critics argue this is a cost-cutting measure that will negatively affect over 600,000 people. Public opposition includes a petition challenging the changes. The government defends the changes, stating the previous system was outdated and poorly targeted.
