Pressure is mounting on George Osborne to rethink £4bn in cuts to disability benefits as a growing number of Tories express concerns about their impact.

Up to 640,000 people could have support for aids and appliances used for daily tasks either scaled back or removed.

One MP said Personal Independence Payments (PIP) were a "lifeline" while a minister said the policy was a "self-inflicted presentational problem".

George Osborne has insisted the "most vulnerable" will still be protected.
