Benefits U-turn: How much will it cost?

76% Informative
Labour 's original plan to reform the welfare system was a hasty effort to try to make billions of pounds of cuts to a rapidly growing bill.
Latest deal appears to row back more than half of the annual 5bn earmarked saving from the welfare reforms, by 2029-30 .
The planned cut to disability personal independent payment (Pip) eligibility was set to raise the bulk of this saving, 4.5bn .
But now the changes will apply only to new claimants from November 2026 .
