Foreign nationals could be banned from claiming benefits under Tory plans in a bid to save Britain £47billion.
Shadow Chancellor Sir Mel Stride will unveil his plans today to cut welfare, foreign aid, and the size of the civil service to save public finances.
In his speech scheduled for this morning, Sir Mel will warn that the UK cannot "keep spending money we simply do not have".
The proposals will include ending the right of people with "low-level" mental health conditions to claim sickness benefits.
Individuals would instead be offered support and treatment to get them back to work.
Foreign nationals would be barred from accessing the welfare system, which could affect upwards of half a million current claimants, who would also lose their right to access social housing in the future.
Mr Stride's plans will reform the current benefits system, placing tighter restrictions on housing benefits and further requirements to look for work.
Sir Mel will say: "The Conservative party will never, ever make fiscal commitments without spelling out exactly how they will be paid for.
"We cannot deliver stability unless we live within our means. No more pretending we can keep spending money we simply do not have."

Tories vow to 'hold our nerve' despite party polling difficulties
Sir Mel Stride said the Tories need to "hold our nerve" as the party's polling continues to struggle.
When questioned about comments made by polling expert Sir John Curtice, who suggested the Liberal Democrats could win more seats than the Conservatives, Sir Mel said: "We're four years from an election. Anybody who attempts to predict what will happen in four years' time is being pretty brave.
"If you were interviewing me in 2019 and I was a socialist, you'd be saying: 'Mel Stride, you've had the worst result for the Labour Party since the 1930s, you're never going to get back into office'
"And look what happened five years later. All things are possible.
"And what we've got to do is hold our nerve and, as we are at this conference, come forward with credible, bold, relevant policies, and that's exactly what we're doing."
Priti Patel says Labour is 'complicit' in abuse towards the Jewish community
Priti Patel said Labour is 'complicit' in abuse towards the Jewish community
| PAShadow Foreign Secretary Dame Priti Patel said Labour is "complicit" in the abuse towards the Jewish community.
She said Labour had "lost any moral purpose" and claimed that uncontrolled immigration had led to the "importing of the demonisation of Jews".
Speaking to Conservative Party members on Sunday evening, she said: "These are shocking and difficult times for the Jewish community, and made all the worse by Labour's dreadful decisions, which have actively undermined our relationship between the United Kingdom and Israel.
"And in doing so, Keir Starmer has damaged our national interests and made it harder for Britain to help chart that course towards a sustainable end to this terrible conflict and bring peace to the region.
"And while Labour have indulged in gesture politics, and Keir Starmer has allowed his left-wing backbenchers and trade union campaigners to dictate British foreign policy, it's the Conservative Party that stands with Israel against such weakness in the face of terrorism."
