UK disability benefits see a modest increase but stricter rules may impact over 250,000 people.
The UK government is making changes to disability benefits, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which could affect hundreds of thousands of people.
An increase of 1.7% in weekly payment rates for disability benefits will take effect on April 7, but most beneficiaries will have to wait until May due to a four-week delay in payments.
Additionally, stricter rules for PIP will require a minimum of four points in at least one activity to receive daily living support, potentially impacting 150,000 carers.
Critics argue these changes could push over 250,000 people into poverty.
