“Taking away people’s meagre benefits, to pay for support they need with basic everyday things, is a tax on disability

Tireless campaigning by disabled people has already stopped care charging in two London boroughs the gov must end care charging everywhere”

#ScrapCareCharges

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

The Department for Work and Pensions is refusing to explain which disabled people it expects to lose out from nearly £2 billion in new cuts to disability benefits, six weeks after the “savings” were quietly revealed in budget documents.

Watchdog’s silence after removing figures that showed social security spending is not ‘spiralling’

[Disability News Service @johnpringdns]

Ministers have been forced to admit that the proportion of Access to Work claims they are rejecting has leapt by more than a fifth this year, with disabled campaigners describing the figures as “unacceptable” and “clearly worrying”.

Comments by the disability minister have fuelled concerns that the government is planning changes that will cut the amount of workplace support disabled people can receive through the Access to Work scheme.

A Commons committee has called on ministers to delay billions of pounds of cuts until they have carried out “an independent and comprehensive assessment” of the impact they could have on disabled people.

Hi, I'm currently looking into the impact of the PIP cuts on carers for the Big Issue:

I'm interested in speaking to anyone receives PIP *and* Carer's Allowance, and who is potentially at risk from the new "four point rule"

Starmer faces welfare revolt from 150 MPs as frontbenchers ‘poised to quit’ https://t.co/SLC66K5cTI

[Neil Duncan-Jordan MP @NeilForPoole]

The first duty of every Labour Government is to support the most vulnerable.

Our welfare system is meant to be a safety net - there for all of us when we need it.

I'll fight tooth and nail for our welfare state.

Solidarity with disabled people against cuts.

Keir Starmer is being advised to urgently pause the Government's plans to cut disability & health benefits by Parliament's work & pensions committee

Over 300 people demonstrated in Norwich against the disability cuts. Clive Lewis MP spoke and reaffirmed his intention to vote against the cuts.
Thanks to everyone who attended and to the organisers from DPAC Norfolk

[Scope @scope]

Cuts to disability benefits will push 250,000 people into poverty, including 50,000 children. Let that sink in.

Disabled people already experience higher levels of poverty compared to non-disabled people. Cuts to benefits will make this worse ✂️

It’s entirely unacceptable.

[JR Information and Monitoring Group @JrMonitoring]

@NeilForPoole Thank you

[JR Information and Monitoring Group @JrMonitoring]

What sort of real consultation is this when those affected can’t get in?

[MDPAC @McrDPAC]

Just an update: We did eventually get in and we stopped the DWP consultation and did one for all disabled people to oppose the Green Paper.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

If Labour decision makers think “reviewing” Winter Fuel Allowance will save them, they’re not living in same world as rest of us. Only scrapping of WFA cut & dropping completely plans to cut benefits to disabled will show that as PM claimed, “he gets it.” https://t.co/s2Wy7JFAm7

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Labour losing Runcorn was avoidable and as much a result of our party’s failures as Reform’s rise.

Now, we need to learn the right lessons, not double down on the same mistakes.

Cutting disability benefits and scrapping the Winter Fuel Allowance made voters abandon us. [1/3]

[JR Information and Monitoring Group @JrMonitoring]

Yes!

[Steve Witherden MP @switherdenMP]

Today’s results show that Labour needs to deliver the actual change people voted for - offering real hope by reversing ever-widening inequality.

Dropping plans to cut disability benefits and properly taxing the very richest in society would be a good place to start.
