The Government has recently introduced the Universal Credit Welfare Bill.

On 1 July, the bill had its second reading. Parliament voted to pass the bill which means it will now have its third reading next week.

The Government has now changed the proposals in the bill since its first reading. But it will still make cuts to the health element of Universal Credit for new claimants from next year.

We want to see the benefits system reformed for the better. But we won’t accept that making big cuts is the answer.

MPs will vote on these plans again in Parliament on 9 July 2025. This is another important moment to influence them.

Ask your MP to stop the cuts now.

We've seen the power of all your efforts which resulted in a U-turn on a number of elements of the bill. Let's keep up the momentum! 🙌
