Under Labour welfare spending has spiralled out of control, and it isn’t slowing down.
At the end of their term in Government, the number of people getting Personal Independence Payment disability benefit is expected to reach nearly 4.7 million.
This will cost us £20 BILLION more by 2029.
This cannot go on. While PIP support is vital for many with disabilities, so many who can work are refusing to do so whilst claiming taxpayer-funded benefits for mild conditions.
That's why we’ve announced that the next Conservative Government will urgently reassess all mild PIP claims for anxiety, depression and ADHD.
People should be supported to reach their potential, not left stuck on benefits.
Handouts aren't the answer.
That's why we plan to reassess all mild PIP cases of these conditions within our first 2 years, which would save £10 for every £1 spent on identifying illegible claims.
While Labour and Reform make the benefits bill even worse, and the Lib Dems go along with everything Keir Starmer does - we’re tackling the problem head on.
Welfare should be a safety net for the most vulnerable, not a lifestyle choice.
