The government said the process of reassessing people was taking longer than planned

The government's welfare changes for disabled people in England, Scotland and Wales have been delayed.

People will move from Disability Living Allowance to the Personal Independence Payment next week in only certain areas instead of the whole of Great Britain.

Work and pensions minister Mike Penning said the process of reassessing people was "taking longer than expected".

Shadow Work and Pensions Secretary Rachel Reeves said it was the "latest example of chaos" in the department.
