And also better medical treatments means that more people survive what would have been fatal illnesses and accidents not long ago. But not rarely they are left with some disabilities or chronic illnesses. From babies born prematurely to cancer, strokes, brain injuries and so on.

The only concession that needs to be made on the PIP cuts is throwing them in the bin. The Government should make the tough choice of going after their rich billionaire donors. A decision that will actually be hard for them.

At first glance, it might seem fair that you need 4 points to qualify for PIP. But we all know the truth, many sick and disabled people are already denied the support they need because of incompetent and cruel assessors.

I’m sorry, the DWP announcing “don’t worry, the benefits u-turn means only 150,000 people will be pushed into poverty now!” is just insane. Cruel, incompetent ghouls who shouldn’t be allowed to run a bath let alone a system sick people rely on to live.

DWP says 150,000 more people pushed into poverty by benefit cuts - not 250,000 as forecast said before U-turn
The Department for Work and Pensions has just published an analysis saying that, allowing for the concesssions announced last week, the welfare cuts will still push an extra 150,000 people into relative poverty.

The “welfare reform bill” is out and let’s be clear: this is not reform - it is devastating cuts. Disabled people will be made poorer, sicker, and more isolated as a result. That it is a Labour government causing this misery will be a mark of shame on the party for years to come.

Steve’s life changed completely after an injury left him unable to work. He got little support from the social security system, and the amount he received wasn't even enough to cover essentials, like food and bills. Steve was left with no option but to turn to a food bank.

A graphic with two screenshots of a video where
Steve shares his experience of turning to a food bank. The top photo shows Steve's legs walking down the street - two walking sticks are visible. The subtitles read: 'I'm going to be unable to work for probably the rest of my life'. The second screenshot shows the back of Steve walking through a neighbourhood. Subtitles read: 'when I started claiming the benefits, it was nowhere near enough to cover even the basics'.

If a disabled person loses PIP, their unpaid carer will also lose Carer's Allowance. £83 a week that makes a difference, even if it's not a fortune. For some families, this could mean destitution. Those of us who know how arbitrary and cruel the PIP system can be are rightly worried.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

So how should you respond?

Option A: The DWP have no legal right to this information and you have no legal obligation to provide them with this information. Their aim is to further stigmatise disability benefits and invalidate disabled people’s experiences

Option B: Respond with Opposition

The disability benefits cuts are bad enough, but the ableist language? Absolutely appalling. Comparing PIP to “pocket money” for teens is dehumanising. And saying work gives disabled people dignity? Not all jobs do, especially when you're treated like dirt and paid next to nothing.
