The government has lost a vote in the House of Lords over its plans to cut the welfare bill.
Peers voted by 260 to 216 to protect young disabled people from cuts to employment support allowance.
Opponents of the coalition's plans said they would mean disabled children who could never work would never be entitled to the benefit.
Ministers also suffered a defeat last month over elements of their plans to overhaul housing benefit.
