Disabled people could face major changes to how the personal independence payments (PIP) benefit works, as the government tries to tackle the rising number of claimants with a mental health condition.
Reforms to PIP could include stopping regular cash payments, and instead offering claimants one-off grants for things like home adaptations.
The number of people claiming PIP in relation to anxiety and depression has soared in recent years, leading Prime Minister Rishi Sunak to say on Monday: "We need to do something about that."
The disability charity Scope described the plans as a "reckless assault on disabled people".
The plans are subject to a 12-week consultation, ending on 23 July.
It is highly unlikely there will be enough time to implement the changes before the general election, which is expected to take place by the end of the year.
