The Green Paper Discussion (the document link is here too!)
James Taylor, Executive Director of Strategy at disability equality charity Scope, said: “The biggest cuts to disability benefits on record should shame the government to its core.

Hi all and welcome to the monkey house 😅 Fearing that losing my PIP and ESA will render me with insufficient income to survive. The options for me with these new rules would be homelessness or death. Not sure anyone here can render that untrue but at least we can understand one another.
