Families with disabled children currently receive £3,000 each and a disabled adult, whose partner is a full-time carer also receives £3,000. By 2015, these benefits would be withdrawn.
The plan is to move those who are fit to work, onto Job Seekers Allowance instead. The reforms have been criticised by Think Tank Demos, who argue that the benefit reforms will result in long-term unemployment for disabled people.
