Rachel Reeves's local Labour party will demand that the Chancellor abandons her plans to cut disability benefits.
The Leeds West and Pudsey Constituency Labour Party (CLP), which campaigned to return Ms Reeves to Parliament in the general election as its local MP, has agreed to write to her 'as soon as possible' to make clear it does not support the cuts.
The local party branch passed a motion opposing the cuts when it met this week.
The Government's plans, set out in a Green Paper earlier this year, would tighten the eligibility criteria for the main disability benefit in England, the personal independence payment (Pip).
Restricting Pip would cut benefits for around 800,000 people, while the sickness-related element of universal credit also set to be cut.
