The Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall has outlined radical changes to the benefits system to get more people into work and save £5 billion by 2030.
The changes include scrapping a controversial benefits assessment, and tightening the eligibility criteria for disability benefits.
"Millions of people who could work [are] trapped on benefits", Kendall told MPs in the House of Commons on Tuesday, insisting the current welfare system is "holding the country back".
