Survey shows majority of Conservative and Reform voters oppose disability benefit cuts
Source Summary
A British Social Attitudes survey found that only 7% of respondents support cuts to disability benefits, while 49% believe spending should be increased. The finding applies even among Conservative and Reform voters, suggesting that proposals to reduce disability benefit spending could be politically risky.
Why it matters
The survey demonstrates that disability benefit cuts lack public support across the political spectrum, constraining policy options for any government considering welfare reform.
