The Labour Government have unveiled plans for cuts worth £137billion.
Scottish charities have expressed concern at proposals from the UK Government to cut benefits, warning it could leave the most vulnerable in Scotland worse off.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer outlined on Sunday a plan to save £137billion on welfare by cracking down on people "gaming the system".
Mr Starmer wrote in The Mail on Sunday: “In the coming months, Mail on Sunday readers will see even more sweeping changes. Because make no mistake, we will get to grips with the bulging benefits bill blighting our society.”
The proposal comes ahead of Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall plans to announce a package of legislation on Tuesday to “get Britain working”.
The Mail said Labour's plans will include giving the NHS a role in getting people back to work, such as employing tens of thousands of people who are economically inactive for health reasons in non-clinical roles.
Ms Kendall's proposals are also expected to include the placement of work coaches in mental health clinics, the Mail said.
But representatives from the Scottish third sector have spoken out on the cuts to benefits.
James Taylor, executive director of strategy at disability equality charity Scope, told the National: “Pressing ahead with the previous government's planned cut to disability benefits will leave disabled people financially worse off and further from work.
“Over the years we have seen the repeated tightening of sanctions and conditionality ramp up misery, which has done little to improve the number of disabled people in work.
“We’d urge the Secretary of State to take a fresh approach to supporting disabled people into work. By spending time listening to their experiences and understanding the barriers they face that a focus on overall budgets and sanctions won’t solve.”
Housing benefits also remain a concern amid Labour’s planned crackdown on benefits.
Gordon MacRae, assistant director of Shelter Scotland, told The National: "One of the areas we have seen welfare payments increase the most in recent years has been payments to private landlords to cover the cost of rents.
"Instead of putting more money into building social homes successive governments have cut the amount people can claim for housing costs as private rents have spiralled out of control.
"We know that this is a major driver of homelessness and that a disproportionate number of people needing assistance from homelessness services were previously private renters.
"Instead of setting arbitrary targets to cut spending our governments in Westminster and Holyrood should be investing in building homes for social rent."
