Chancellor Rachel Reeves has gone further with cuts to welfare in her long-awaited Spring Statement, cutting the universal credit health element and freezing it until 2030.
The changes came as the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) found the package of benefit cuts announced last week would not raise as much money as the government hoped.
In her statement on changes to the public finances, Reeves announced significant cuts in spending but confirmed there will be no tax rises.
In a blow to the government's plan for growth, the OBR's growth forecast has also been halved from 2% down to 1% for 2025. "I am not satisfied with these numbers," Reeves told MPs.
