Hi, is it true that disability benefits are going to be scrapped next year or in the near future?

 My friend has said that this is what is going to happen next year.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thank you.

    No, not at all. You can tell your friend they are not correct.
    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.
