The DWP is working through 200,000 cases after officials unlawfully changed benefit rules, according to The Guardian.

Campaigners say the Department for Work and Pensions is processing 200,000 disputed cases so slowly that some unpaid carers could die before receiving refunds owed to them.

More than 40 retailers, including John Lewis, M&S and Asda, plan short-term placements for 18- to 24-year-olds not in employment, education or training over the next three years.
