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. 💪🏼

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

Another open letter is circulating on X and already has 450 signatures. Please consider signing and sharing it. I’m posting it here in its original form. (Note: You’ll need to sign in to Google Drive to access the form.)

Super news: Our letter on disability benefits cuts has almost 450 signatories — incl doctors, nurses, psychologists, OTs, clergy, and crucially, disabled people & carers. Thank you!

Every signature matters for Parliament & media — so please sign & share.

Absolutely @jul1aorways , Great News☀️ —hurray! Huge well done to you too for standing your ground and fighting every step of the way. Let’s keep the momentum going and our spirits high. I’m keeping an eye out for the WCA petition-if it gets published, I’m confident it will gain real traction. Keep up the fantastic work, everyone. Our voices are starting to carry further and further!👏👏

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. 😒

Hopefully , I am hearing lots of people saying they don't think these changes will go through because of discrimination etc .

Thanks @Catherine21 . Just found it shared in a tweet. Have you seen the WCA new petition?(scroll one page back on this thread). Best wishes Catherine

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. 👇
