PM ‘agrees’ benefit changes deal with Labour rebels


The government is expected to announce a deal shortly with Labour rebels on its planned benefits changes.

Multiple sources tell the BBC existing claimants of the Personal Independence Payment (Pip) will continue to receive what they currently get, as will recipients of the health element of Universal Credit.

It is also expected that the support to help people into employment will be fast forwarded so it happens sooner.

The concessions amount to a massive climbdown from the government, which was staring at the prospect of defeat if it failed to accommodate the demands of over 100 of its backbenchers.
