PIP shouldn’t even be in the same conversation as sickness and work. PIP is personal independence payment. It has nothing to do with whether you are working or not working, off sick or not. It has nothing to do with work. It is like Rishi Sunak doesn’t even know this.

Some facts about #PIP

1. It is NOT an out-of-work benefit
2. The assessment & application process is hard. It is not "easy to claim"
3. Only 40-45% of claims are successful
4. Getting the correct reward is difficult. Challenging it can take months.

[Dr Jay Watts @Shrink_at_Large]

Noone gets £1000s on PIP.

I have never met ANYONE whose disability costs are completely covered by PIP.

Disability is expensive.

PIP is not an out-of-work benefit. It is a disability-makes-life-expensive benefit to level things out just a bit.

friendly reminder that they don’t just hand out PIP to anyone that fancies it!!! i am multiply disabled and have been too scared to ever apply for it because every single person i know that receives PIP has been subject to a lengthy and traumatic assessment process

[Beffy @beffybadbelly]

Terrifying time to live in the UK if you’re disabled. I’m very concerned for my future.

Lauren’s story makes me cry every time. I followed her on TikTok for a while and then heard the devastating news that she had passed away whilst in hospital. She was failed by the system. Autistic people deserve better. #Dispatches

[Neil Friday McGourty @Mcgourty22N]

Jesus fucking Christ this is terrifying for any parent with children with learning difficulties. I’m furious #Dispatches

I was sectioned on a children’s mental health unit when I was 16. I was undiagnosed autistic. My daily meltdowns were interpreted as ‘hysterical attacks when she does not get her own way’. I was labelled with a personality disorder. And left traumatised. #Dispatches

[Emily♡ @ItsEmilyKaty]

Over 700,000 autistic people in the UK. 6 times more likely to experience mental health crisis and nine times more likely to take their own lives. And many ending up in units. Channel 4 #Dispatches is on now showing autistic patients trapped in MH units. This is hard to watch. 💔

Note to self: never ever ever ever move house again after this move

[Laura Marie Taylor @LaurraC97]

When does this end?🤢☹️

This was a naieve tweet for the absolute shit storm that was about to happen

[ellie middleton 🌻 @elliemidds]

watching #insideourautisticminds and “autistic women without intellectual difficulties are 8 x more likely to die from suicide” is absolutely terrifying
