HUNDREDS of thousands of people on Universal Credit are set to lose almost £100 per week under Government plans.
The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) previously announced plans to scrap the health component of Universal Credit for under-22s.
At the moment, the Limited Capability for Work and Work-Related Activity (LCWRA) element for Universal Credit is applied to most adults aged between 16 to 21 if they’re struggling to stay employed due to health issues.
But charity Disability Rights UK is now saying the Government plans will affect almost 110,000 disabled adults.
It says they will lose nearly £100 a week if the changes come into effect.
That equates to almost £400 a month, or £4,800 over the course of a year.
The charity says the move will mostly impact disabled young people who are described as NEET – “Not in Education, Employment or Training” – and are having difficulties getting into the job market.
But it will also affect young people who are in work but are in low-paid or part-time jobs and are using Universal Credit to top up their earnings.
Disability Rights UK says on its website: “The proposed policy will not just impact young disabled people who are NEET, but also many young disabled people who are in education.
“Despite barriers to students claiming UC, it is often possible for those in non-advanced education who have passed the August after their 19th birthday to successfully claim UC as an adult.
“Under the current system, low-income families with a disabled 19-year-old already have to contend with a drop in income of at least £29.25 per week when their child stops being treated as a dependent and starts claiming UC in their own right.
“However, under the Government’s proposal, young disabled people aged under 22 would only receive £73 rather than £170 per week, meaning a much greater drop in household income.”
The Government unveiled a huge benefits shake-up earlier this year as part of plans to save about £5billion a year in welfare payments.
Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall said the current system is failing millions with one in 10 working-age Brits now on sickness or disability benefits.
She said spending on disability benefits has spiralled by £20billion since the pandemic and pledged to fix the “broken” system with a reform package.
Part of the Government’s plans include getting people back into work while protecting the most vulnerable.
Research suggests removing access to the health element of Universal Credit for under-22s will not impact 73% of 16 to 24-year-old Brits who fall into the NEET category.
TRYING to work out how much Universal Credit you can get can be overwhelming.
There are so many different elements that can affect your claim and it makes the whole process even more complicated.
There are several free calculators that you can use to help you get an estimate, such as Gov.UK, Citizen’s Advice, MoneySavingExpert, StepChange and Turn2Us.

The Government’s proposed benefits shake-up will see a number of changes come into effect.
One that has gained lots of attention is a crackdown on eligibility, particularly for those claiming the main disability benefit Personal Independence Payments (PIP).
The number of claimants is expected to double by 2030, with the biggest rise among young people and those with mental health conditions.
But from 2026, new claimants will need to score at least four points in one category to qualify as part of a plan to curb the rapid rise in payouts.
These are some of the other changes planned:
SHE wanted to give her staircase a new look, but rents her home.
So after getting permission from the landlord, Megan decided to get started on the makeover – which she managed to complete for just £35.
She began by leaving a strip down the middle of the stairs bare, and headed to her local IKEA to pick up some of their £2 Tiphede runners.
When she got home, she got started by cleaning off the stairs, before she started attaching the rugs to the steps.
After getting them in the perfect position, she used a heavy duty staple gun to attach them onto the stairs.
And once she’d finished, the rugs looked like a perfect, professional and expensive stair runner.
“Changing the stairs on my private rented property with permission from my landlord,” Megan wrote over the top of the video.
“Single mum on a budget style!”
And she added in the caption: “I love it when a vision comes to life….now I just need to go accessory shopping.
“This whole project has cost me around £35 in total. Now that’s what you call DIY on a budget!”
People in the comments section were quick to praise Megan for the transformation, with one writing: “Well done, looks amazing!”
“It looks stunning! You’ve done amazing!” another added.
“What is the tool your using to tack the runners in place babe?”
“Thank you so much, it’s been a long few days,” Megan replied.
“It’s just a heavy duty staple gun.”
“Well worth the effort, looks great,” a third praised.
“That is amazing, fair play to you,” someone else commented.
“It’s beautiful – ready for your next project.”
The best renovation to add value totally depends on your property, the local market and your potential buyers.
Zoopla shared a list of upgrades that will instantly add value to your home.
“Gorgeous! Love this, well done!” another wrote.
“I work in Ikea… that’s great use of the Tiphede runner rug,” someone else said.
“It looks stunning,” another added.
“In the middle of doing our stairs – could you please tell me how you managed to get a neat line up your stairs for the paint?
“I’m so close to chucking the brush!”
To which Megan replied: “Masking tape but remove it whilst the paint is still wet”.
“I did something similar and I swear trying to keep them clean is a nightmare! It will be a daily task!” someone else commented.
With Megan responding: “I have 5 children, I’m always cleaning anyway!”
“Came out really nice…” another said.
A POPULAR children’s toy has been urgently recalled after it was found to have a “serious risk of injuries”.
Parents have been warned not to let their kids use the item.
The Soppycid Reusable Water Balloons have been removed from the online marketplace following the safety concern.
The toy was available in a pack of six on Amazon for £18.
“The product presents a serious risk of injuries because it contains accessible magnets with a magnetic flux index that exceeds the acceptable level,” the product’s risk description reads.
“Small, high-powered magnetic products can easily be swallowed and, when ingested, have the potential to cause serious internal injuries within the gastrointestinal tract.
“The product also requires improvement to marking,
labelling and documentation.”
It comes after a children’s swimming float was also urgently recalled over fears it could cause serious injury or even drowning.
The Joycat Baby Float, sold on Amazon, has been flagged as a safety risk.
Authorities found that its attachable canopy could lift the float from the water in windy conditions, putting children in danger.
The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection.
The blue and yellow sea-themed swim seat, intended for babies and toddlers, poses a “serious risk of injuries”, according to the Product Safety Report.
If the float becomes airborne, a child could be thrown out and suffer an impact injury or drown.
The alert was issued in the UK following a border inspection.
The Office for Product Safety and Standards also issued a recall for the Get Set Play Jumbo Balloon Pumper over concerns that the product could shatter.
The red and blue plastic water balloon pumpers are available at shops like B&Q and The Works.
It contains 300 multi-coloured balloons which can be inflated using the pumper.
However, the product design failed to include a mechanism to prevent it becoming over-pressurised.
Smyths have also pulled a magic tricks box from the shelves after a chocking hazard saw it fail to meet safety requirements.
