Welfare U-turn could spare 50,000 from poverty
The Guardian
|July 08, 2025
Changes to the welfare bill made by the government in the face of a backbench rebellion will lift 50,000 people out of poverty, an updated impact assessment has found.
Keir Starmer, the prime minister, was forced to abandon the central plank of his welfare bill - cuts to the personal independence payment (Pip) - to avert defeat in the House of Commons last week.
A new impact assessment by the Department for Work and Pensions found the change would mean 50,000 fewer people, including children and working-age individuals, were in relative poverty in 2030 after housing costs were considered.
