Minister warns of crushing blow to communities
Savage Tory welfare cuts will rob working adults of hundreds of pounds a year, the Welsh government has warned.
It said Westminster's plans will cost adults in Wales an average of £500 a year.
In places such as Merthyr Tydfil and Blaenau Gwent the figure will be as high as £600.
