I believe it will be abolished 2028/9 , i retire in 2031, so would have to save now for that gap in between retirement ,the basic state pension hubby retires a year before me so goodness what they will torture us with as his pension will clash with other benefits .

Thank you so much.
As it now has 5 signatures-The petition is currently being reviewed by the Parliamentary Petitions Standards team and will hopefully be published soon. If it gains enough support, it could become a key petition in the fight to protect disabled rights.Disabled voices matter.

Looking at the public pushback and widespread uproar, I truly hope this proposal doesn’t go through. Scope’s main campaign is also nearing 100,000 signatures, which should trigger a much-needed debate in Parliament. However you look at it, this rushed, vague, and lengthy proposal-along with a non-inclusive consultation process—is discriminatory on multiple grounds.
So hopefully, you’re going to enjoy your run-up to retirement! 🤞😊
Let’s keep ramping up the pressure from every direction.Disabled voices matter. 💪🏼

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