What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Oxfordshire county cabinet passed changes to the social care budget, which included cuts to the Universal Credit health element. The council is reducing Disability Related Expenditure (DRE) from 35 per cent to 25 per cent. To save £1.8 million from the £330 million social care budget, the council is also introducing a £10-a-day charge for council-organised transport and increasing the cost of independent living technology by more than 50 per cent.
