State before the May election where the 12bn pound cuts in welfare spending will fall

The Issue

I wish the conservative party to state in public before the elections on 7th May 2015 where they plan to make cuts in welfare spending of 12bn pounds. Many sick and vulnerable people are fearing the worst from leaked details already posted in various media outlets.

We wish to know if tax will be deducted on DLA/PIPs, if contribution rate ESA/JSA is to be scrapped ? and that the work related activity group (WRAG) is also going to be scrapped. And any other plans not mentioned.

We hear almost every day from the government they support " Hard working Families"  so what about those who have fallen on hard times who have in the past made there contributions to tax and national insurance and now due to sickness and unable to work, have to rely on state welfare payments. whilst the wealthy and rich are rewarded with tax cuts we have to suffer bedroom tax - benefit caps - and possible future cuts and taxes.
