• Incapacity Benefit Reform: the local, regional and national impact
  New report concludes that the government's reforms of incapacity benefits will cut the number of claimants by nearly 1,000,000; over 800,000 of them existing claimants. 600,000 will be forced out of the benefit system entirely. Worst hit will be Scotland, Wales and the North of England; the South will hardly be affected.
