英国的残疾福利略有增加,但更严格的规则可能会影响到超过25万人。 UK disability benefits see a modest increase but stricter rules may impact over 250,000 people.

联合王国政府正在改变残疾福利,包括个人独立津贴,这可能影响到数十万人。 The UK government is making changes to disability benefits, including Personal Independence Payment (PIP), which could affect hundreds of thousands of people. 残疾津贴的每周支付率将在4月7日生效,提高1.7%,但大多数受益人将不得不等到5月,因为推迟4周支付。 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. 另外,对于PIP更严格的规则将要求至少在至少一个活动中获得4分才能获得日常生活支持,这可能会影响15万照顾者. 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. 批评者认为,这些变化可能会将超过25万人推向贫困。 Critics argue these changes could push over 250,000 people into poverty.
