What are the immediate consequences of altering PIP eligibility criteria for disabled individuals in the UK?

The UK government is considering changes to the Personal Independence Payment (PIP), a disability benefit, aiming to reduce welfare spending. PIP, supporting over 3.6 million people with daily living and mobility needs, offers weekly payments ranging from £72.65 to £108.55 for daily living and £28.70 to £75.75 for mobility, depending on the level of need. Concerns exist that tightening eligibility criteria could negatively impact vulnerable individuals.
