No Londoner should cook every meal with a kettle. Councils can provide
proper kitchens in temporary accommodation now. Let's #FixTheFiveBasics

What did you think of the speech?

[Z2K (Zacchaeus 2000 Trust) @Z2K_trust]

Good to hear a more positive tone on social security, and recognition that housing benefit cuts have helped to drive the temp accommodation crisis. As ever, the proof will be in the pudding. We need a decisive break with the failed short-sighted cuts of the past. #AndyBurnham

NEW RESEARCH🟣The DWP spends £350 million/y on private contractors for PIP assessments.
But, 74% of planned PIP award reviews end with NO CHANGE to entitlement. 🧵

How about we save our money and time, and scrap blanket PIP reassessments?

Why is the DWP subjecting people with lifelong disabilities to inhumane reassessments for PIP? Charity Z2K reveals how bad the problem is...

Pointless!
Z2K Expert by Experience and Campaigner, Steve Mikellides, spoke to The Guardian about the impact of PIP reassessments and our new research into the DWP's ridiculously wasteful process.

@turn2us_org are inviting MPs to find out what it’s really like to use the Jobcentre and how to build trust to support more people into work. Will you show your support by asking your MP to be there? https://t.co/Jn0vcwXfwE

[Z2K (Zacchaeus 2000 Trust) @Z2K_trust]

We know PIP assessors rely on their own✨ impressions ✨ instead of medical evidence.
Good to see government trying to make assessments more objective. But we'll be watching to see how the DWP actually does strengthen the role of medical expertise.
