Under-25s could face reductions to their entitlement under a proposed overhaul of the welfare system, BBC News reported. The recommendation comes from a year-long report led by former Labour health secretary Alan Milburn. [1]
The report will recommend moving people under the age of 25 off main sickness and disability benefits, according to the Times cited by BBC News. Milburn stated on Wednesday night that the proposed changes would affect both existing and new claimants and would not be pain-free. [1]
The government tasked Milburn with helping to lower the number of 18- to 24-year-olds in the United Kingdom who are not in education, employment, or training. BBC News reported that one in eight young people in that age group currently fall into that category. [1]
The review by Milburn is scheduled for publication on Tuesday, BBC News reported. [1]
