DWP rules for disability benefit assessment could change as Rachel Reeves’ Budget approaches.

A DWP rule change will see 400,000 people lose benefits as Rachel Reeves plots £3bn in cuts.

DWP has signed two new contracts reportedly worth around £7million to "maintain and modernise" one of its "key" platforms to tackle fraud and error.
