Andy Burnham is proposing a major overhaul of the current benefits system, with the goal of reducing the benefits bill while funding an NHS-style social care system. Proposals include a top-up boost for parents on Universal Credit to encourage children into apprenticeships. However, the proposals face significant criticism regarding the potential for tax increases or a levy on estates to fund these changes.
