WARNING! ⚠️ ⚠️⚠️⚠️
PLEASE READ AND SHARE!! 👇👇👇👇
I've been sent this notification from Disabled People Against Cuts on X, which I've copied and pasted here.
If you are not on X I've included all the details. If you are on X I've included the link below if you are interested in reposting and commenting. 👍
The vile & toxic DWP are sending out a horrific survey asking disabled people how they spend their PIP money
- DWP have no legal right to ask & you have no legal obligation to fill it in
- if you send a letter of opposition tell them what you think of their vile cuts

How do we email the DWP about this pip survey, I want to stress my oppostition to both their refroms and this illegal survey? How dare they ask how we spend our pip money, they won't be satified until we're all in early grave, i'm soooo angry with them but it does give me another chance to write to them, if only to let them know how vile and cruel they all are!!

Hi @Catherine21 😊
I loved what you said about about getting £10 for filling in the DWP Survey! 🙄
I saw that you were frustrated in another post of yours that the MPs voting process for these cuts was so unfair.
There has just been some more encouraging news for that vote. The government is trying to avoid a damaging rebellion of MPs as so many are unhappy about the proposals.
It means that they might allow them to abstain from voting instead which means that these MPs won't be penalised and an abstention vote does count.
That means that at least there will be less votes in favour of the cuts but the main thing that is good for us about it is that Labour are losing their party unity over these cuts which could undermine the government.
A warning, an MP trys to pour cold water on these developments at the end of the article. Just because he says that he hasn't heard of any objections from other MPs, doesn't mean that it isn't happening!

Same here. My new MP is already a PUS and has not responded. Neither have other members of both Houses, all of who claim to have a special interest in the welfare of disabled people.

The survey is bring to mind last year's Green Paper in that there appears to be a shift towards our very diverse needs being "met" in any which way but direct payments.

They seem to get some psycotic buzz out of making our lives utterly unbearable, it's something new every week with vile comments, sly digs, propaganda in the media. I think it's bordering on criminal encouraging hatred towards us, that's why i'm really angry. So i'm writing letters, emails etc expressing my disgust at the government, certain mp's, the media,and the repulsive DWP. It's enough to turn folk to drink (not that I drink) nor would i obviously condone it!!

I found a £2 coin down sofa this morning, not quite a billion quid, so I bought a lotto ticket as it's a £15m jackpot tonight, if I win I'll pay for all the court cases against this vile government. Fingers crossedxx
