Charities call for pause to Welfare Reform Bill

A group of charities has issued a call to Government to pause the Welfare Reform Bill. The statement reads as follows:

We are calling on the Government to pause the Welfare Reform Bill and carefully consider its reform of Disability Living Allowance (DLA).
