    That is true yes.

    Labour inherited the Tories aim to save 3bn from the welfare budget (that is the whole department not just disability benefits).

    They accepted that commitment, but have only said they will be making their own plans about how to achieve that saving. No details yet.

    And 1.3 billion will come from the changes to the Winter Fuel Allowance. Although, the government advised people to look into getting pension credit & so the numbers now claiming that has risen.

    Jane was right the dwp do want people on lwcra to engage more this is why the rush I prey when they come out with the changes if it's taking substantial risk away and engaging more someone takes them back to court
