And they know it …
that's why they're trying to push it through before the OBR's impact statement which isn't due until the autumn

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. 😒

Hi @Catherine21
Many Labour MPs are not accepting the trade off between taking more children out of poverty and so putting more of us into poverty.
You may have have read the article about this on the community but if not, it is fully explained here. 👇

There has been some encouraging developments in government that you may want to read about here, in an article from The Observer (The Guardian on Sunday) if you haven't seen it already. 😊
If not I hope that it makes you feel better. I feel quite a bit more hopeful after reading it and it shows what a great contribution disabled people are making to the resistance to these cuts. 👌

Have you noticed that every time they scrap a benefit, the one that replaces it is worth quite a bit less money wise. 😡
You can bet that when the "Health Element" of UC replaces the LCWRA it will be even more miserly than it's predecessor, for new claimants first then how long will it be before they apply it to existing claimants on review. ⚠️
I don't wish to alarm anyone here but I think that we better take that possibility into consideration, so we can be prepared to fight it eventually. 🤔
The evil being perpetrated here is undiluted and never ending too..…😞
