"The changes are barbaric and indefensible."
"Earlier this week Work and Pensions Secretary Liz Kendall announced changes to the welfare system aimed at saving £5bn by the end of 2030. Shani Dhanda, an award-winning ambassador for the disability charity Scope said the government should be ‘ashamed’ of the cuts. She told Metro: ‘The changes are barbaric and…

PiP Green Paper Upsetting Me
I trying to find answers for my worry of what's to come with pip changes. If I were to lose pip and appeal do you still keep getting money during the appeal process or does it stop and then only backdated if you win. Also will my lcwra stop when these changes happen if I lose pip. I really going out of my mind with all…

Worried sick
Is anyone else terrified about what was said yesterday regarding the disability benefit cuts? I'm on lwrca for my OCD but it very much sounds as though they are going to make it impossible to claim pip for mental health reasons alone. Requiring 4 points is absurd. I struggled to get onto pip in the first place they kept…

Green Paper not making sense
I really cannot make sense of the green paper and what it means to me on pip and lcwra. I have a pip review coming up so should I worry I could lose everything. I just feel totally confused and let down by labour. I have painful osteoarthritis and spinal disease and I work 12 hours a week. The worry of having to return to…

pipinka is worried about pip
Hi all and welcome to the monkey house 😅 Fearing that losing my PIP and ESA will render me with insufficient income to survive. The options for me with these new rules would be homelessness or death. Not sure anyone here can render that untrue but at least we can understand one another.

Hi, my name is Bindie
I am a carer and are considerably concerned over the proposed welfare cuts. I feel let down and betrayed by a government that traditionally values and looks after those most vulnerable. All this 'new Labour' government want to do is steal from the poorest and most vulnerable instead of recovering lost revenue through a…

Scope, Please Do Not Wait Until It Is Too Late!
While I commend your efforts to oppose cuts to disability support, there is a critical issue that must be addressed: the lack of transparency in the government’s consultation process. The government is planning to release an impact statement alongside the upcoming budget, suggesting they already have the new PIP form and…

Hi, what can we collectively do?
I am the mother of an adult with CP, who scores 2 across his PIP. Therefore he won’t meet the new eligibility criteria. I intend to do all I can individually ie write to MP, sign petition etc, but can we do something collectively? Does anyone know of any protest march in London?

Green Paper thoughts
Hi hope all are ok. Just my thoughts on this Green paper as I’m aware many many of you here will be in a panic and understandably so. I personally find it very very hard to believe that the change in eligibility for pip with 4 points needed from 1 descriptor will ever see the light of day. Do not forget these are proposals…

Pip cuts.
I'm deeply distressed about the proposed pip cuts that people won't get the daily living unless they score at least 4 points in a discriptor. This means I will lose my daily living because I get 2s and 3s in all discriptors even though I can not bath without help or cook without help. But they still gave 2 points. But also…

Benefit cuts - mental health
Was anyone else getting angry listening to Liz Kendall stand in front of the nation telling them what people with mental health problems NEED🥴 People with mental health problems already feel pathetic and unheard without her belittling us infront of the whole country. I scored 4 points on one of the daily living components…
