Read the original article on theguardian.com (opens in a new tab)The Guardian reports the Milburn review's plan to end Pip and the universal credit health element for under-25s, replacing most ongoing support with a youth allowance and a local fund. It attributes the plan's promised benefits to Milburn and sets them against criticism from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation and a Labour MP, plus No 10's refusal to rule out effects on existing claimants. Nothing in it misleads the reader.
“told the Guardian that the support for young people outlined in his report would create 440,000 employment and education opportunities by 2036”
The Guardian attributes the review's headline promise to Milburn rather than stating it as fact.
“leaving many of those on universal credit living on a basic rate of support of around just £80 a week”
The Guardian gives readers the concrete weekly sum disabled young people could be left on, through a named anti-poverty charity, so the cut's human effect is clear.
“No 10 declined on Thursday to rule out the changes affecting existing claimants.”
The Guardian reports plainly what the government would not commit to, which tells current claimants that their support is not guaranteed.
