Listen to the story

A new report may change money help for young people. This is called a review. Alan Milburn is in charge of it.

The review looks at the welfare system. Welfare is money the government gives to people who need help.

Some people get money because they are sick. This is called a sickness benefit.

The review may say that people under 25 should get less sickness benefit money.

This is part of a big overhaul. An overhaul means a big change to how something works.

The government wants to change how young people get help. They want a new plan for young people.

No final decision is made yet. This is only a plan from the review.
