Yes, further cuts to bereavement benefits, ESA and Working Tax Credits are due in April 2017.

A lot of people are still under the mistaken impression that Cameron backed down over planned cuts to Working Tax Credit, however, these related to further planned cuts.

These original cuts are still due to go ahead, whilst most benefits lose value due to inflation as they are frozen until at least 2020.
