BUT
#PIP is an out-of-work benefit. People recieve it to assist with day-to-day living. The matter of employment or not does not enter into it. Their justification for reducing PIP can only be to save the Treasury money
Also
38% of UC claimants are in work. Reducing their benefit can not be seen as motivation for employment because they are already working

The UK’s relative child poverty rate is higher than in any EU or EFTA nation bar Greece.
https://www.resolutionfoundation.org/publications/turning-the-tide/
On present policies and we project that UK child poverty will rise over this Parliament from an estimated 31 per cent in 2024-25 to reach 33 per cent by 2029-30, its highest rate since 1998-99, and the highest number of children on record, at 4.6 million. This includes £3 billion of scheduled welfare cuts.
