Universal Credit

Parents in England are now entitled to 15 hours a week of free childcare for their two-year-olds.

Lily Langford, 19, says she will fight plans to cut the welfare budget on behalf of herself and others.

A judge says Leanne Charlton deserves to be jailed but spares her because of her children.

It could be some time before people know how they may be affected by the government's benefits overhaul.

The move comes as part of an overhaul of the welfare system as the UK's benefits bill rises.

Measures include restricting eligibility for disability payments and cutting benefits for health conditions.
