Sunak vows to end UK ‘sick note culture’ with benefit reform

Rishi Sunak has set out plans to tackle what he calls Britain’s “sick note culture” and a spiralling welfare bill the country can’t afford.

One in ten working-age adults are now claiming a health-related benefit, according to new figures.

Many have mental health conditions – many are young.

One charity says the proposals could leave some disabled people destitute.
