The rising prevalence of disability (and its implications for the benefits bill) has been under the spotlight.
But the impact on disabled people, and the family members who care for them, has been less discussed.

Restricting PIP qualification to save £5bn would mean between 800,000 & 1.2 million people losing support of between £4,200 & £6,300 per year by 2029-30.
