Contact, an organisation which represents families with disabled children, has been working to help people understand benefits changes.
Specifically, in the next two years there will be a number of changes to the benefits system that will impact on families with disabled children.
Some of these changes will happen in the next few weeks – including cuts in the Universal Credit health element for many new claimants and the scrapping of the two-child limit rules.
In the longer term, the government also plans to introduce a right to try work for disability benefit claimants and even has plans to scrap the work capability assessment altogether.
New benefits changes guide
To help families prepare for these welfare reforms, Contact have created a new guide to Forthcoming Benefits Changes that is available to download for free from their website.
