Discriminatory policy? | Disabled staff must do 'their duty' and work from home, says UK MP

Disabled UK workers must do “their duty” to find remote jobs or risk their benefits being cut by £4680 a year, said Laura Trott, chief secretary to the Treasury.

The comments came as the government set out its Autumn budget, announcing plans to get those with disabilities – including mental health or mobility issues – to work from home or risk losing welfare benefits.

Trott told Sky News that those who can “should work” as there is a “duty on citizens” to.

The welfare shake-up is set to amend the current “unsustainable” welfare system but has been met with a barrage of criticism from spectators.
