BBC News | Stop families who choose not to work getting unlimited benefits, Tories say AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Conservatives have pledged to reform the household benefit cap so that only families in which every adult who can work does so will be exempt, ending the automatic exemption for benefits such as Personal Independence Payment and limiting unlimited welfare payments; under the plan, a couple would need to each work at least 16 hours a week (or a single adult 16 hours) to qualify, while other households would face the cap based on location, household size and children, with the government estimating at least £1 billion of annual savings. The party says the changes will target “abuse” of the system and promote work, while critics warn that tighter limits could trap low‑income, part‑time or unemployed families in poverty. The proposal also includes a £23 billion welfare bill that would restrict benefits to UK citizens, cut sickness benefits for less serious mental‑health conditions, and reinstate the two‑child universal‑credit cap that was recently scrapped.
