The Conservatives have pledged to save £2.8bn a year by ending Disability Living Allowance (DLA) payments to families of children with "milder cases" of behavioural disorders, learning difficulties or ADHD.
The policy is one of a series of measures which the party says will save £36bn from the welfare budget.
Shadow work and pensions secretary Helen Whately said the system risked putting children on a "conveyor belt" towards a "lifetime on benefits".
