What are the government's planned welfare cuts and how much will they save?

The government plans to make welfare cuts to reduce the working-age welfare bill by around £5bn annually by the end of the decade. The planned cuts include making it harder to access Personal Independence Payments (Pip) and reducing the rate of incapacity benefit. These changes aim to save £3bn a year by 2030. However, critics argue that these cuts could lead to an increase in relative poverty, impacting around 250,000 additional people by 2030.
