First they came for the migrants And we said nothing As we were not migrants Then they came for the disabled And we said nothing As we are not disabled Then we saw the devastation they caused... 'Britain is being bled dry as welfare bill completely out of control' https://t.co/4FsDmhvmXi

Reform UK’s proposal to scrap PIP and the health element of Universal Credit for working-age adults is a devastating blow to disabled people across the UK. Slicing £50bn from the welfare system by forcing arbitrary savings ignores the day-to-day economic realities of living with long-term conditions and disabilities. This isn't sound policy, it’s short-sighted and patently evil and will: • Drive working-age adults into severe poverty by stripping away essential daily living support. • Overburden public services by shifting downstream financial pressures onto an already struggling NHS and local social care services. • Create an arbitrary hierarchy by pitting individuals deemed to have "severe" conditions against those with other life-altering physical or mental health conditions. Targeting essential health and disability benefits is a direct threat to the safety net. Real reform requires investment in support and accessibility, not pulling the rug out from under millions of people.
