This week, the gov announced plans to tighten eligibility for disability benefits, incl. Personal Independence Payment (PIP)—part of a £5bn cut to disability support.
But what do these changes really mean for disabled people?

Intergenerational wealth plays a big role in pensioner poverty, with housing, inheritance, & social security creating unequal outcomes for women. We're calling for urgent reforms to tackle these disparities and ensure the pensions system supports those most in need. www.ftadviser.com/pensions/202...
