What the vote was about

This division was the final vote on the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill, which makes changes to the main working-age benefits. The bill alters how Universal Credit is calculated and tightens eligibility for Personal Independence Payment (PIP), a disability benefit. For Cornwall, with its high proportion of low-paid, seasonal workers and many people claiming disability benefits, these changes could affect household incomes and access to support for living costs.

Why this division is tracked here

Welfare reform affecting Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment has significant impact on low-income households and disabled people in Cornwall, where seasonal employment and rural poverty are common.
