The Guardian exclusively reports that Alan Milburn's review of youth unemployment will recommend replacing personal independence payments for most under-25s with a local fund for short-term expenses and equipment, plus a new youth allowance. Milburn calls the benefits system a moral crisis that must be torn up, while the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, charities, and Labour MPs including Bell Ribeiro-Addy warn the changes would cut vital support, and Downing Street declined to rule out the changes affecting existing claimants.
