Some encouraging news at last!! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

This article from the Observer (The Guardian on Sunday) shows that what we are contributing to the campaign against the cuts really is working.

However, there is so much more that we can do so WE MUST keep the pressure up on government. We've done an incredible job so far, we must see it through to the very end!✊

WELL DONE EVERYONE !! 👏👏👏👏

AN ADDITIONAL WARNING ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ ⚠️ to the one that I outlined yesterday about NOT filling in the survey the DWP are sending through the post, asking you tell them what you spend your PIP on.

THEY DO NOT HAVE A LEGAL RIGHT to this information and it's none of their business anyway. Most of all, the Government are using the information to MANIPULATE AND MINIMISE the amount of support they think we should have, for their own ends!! 😡

I filled in survey for Carer's UK after finding out about it on the Benefits and Works website. They were also asking for evidence of what you spend your PIP on AND, at the end of the survey, asked permission to allow MPs to use the contents of the survey, anonymously. I found out from the Canary (read below here👇)

that the government are also using these surveys for the same reason 😤 Carers UK aren't be the only DPO unwittingly doing this.😒
