Sir Keir Starmer has been accused of "going easy" on benefit fraud to prevent the system from collapse, according to the Sunday Telegraph. The paper says the number of Personal Independence Payment claimants has risen to record levels and new rules will soon allow people aged over 25 to receive support for four years after an initial assessment. The Telegraph has seen minutes from a government meeting, in which officials warn the system will "fall over" if capacity pressures are not addressed. A government spokesperson tells the paper the changes are helping health professionals spend more of their time where it's needed.
