The mental health system is under immense strain. Something has to change. This review is a chance to understand what’s driving the increase in mental health problems. This must not be used as a way to justify who deserves support and who doesn’t. 1/2

There's been a huge rise in the number of people seeking mental health support in the last 10 years.
Today the UK government is launching a review to find out why.

The review will look at how to make sure people with mental health problems get the right support. It will also explore ways to prevent poor mental health.

The report will be published next summer. We will be watching closely and hope it leads to real change.

We are ready to work with the UK government on this review, which must be shaped by the voices of people living with mental health problems.

What we know ⬇️ 3/7

There will be no changes to Personal Independence Payment (PIP), for people receiving it now or newly receiving it in the future. The UK gov has started a review of PIP which they have committed to co-producing with disabled people.

For people currently receiving the LCWRA or health element of Universal Credit (UC) or Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), there will be no changes.

People who lose eligibility for the health element for less than 6 months and become eligible again after April 2026 will still receive the higher amount.

Most people who become eligible for the LCWRA or health element of UC or ESA from April 2026 onwards will receive a reduced amount.

What the UK government is proposing is short-sighted and harmful to many disabled people. Plans to remove or reduce PIP for people with mental health problems will push many into poverty. It will worsen people's mental health and make it harder to enter or stay in work. 1/3

Today the UK government introduced a bill to parliament. This bill would cut benefits for hundreds of thousands of disabled people. Struggling with your mental health is not a choice. But it is a political choice (underlined) to make these cuts.

The subheading reads "Reform leader claims GPs creating a 'class of victims' in elections speech." We've crossed out 'claims UK' and 'over-diagnosing' and replaced the latter with 'over-stigmatising' so the new headline reads "Nigel Farage is massively over-stigmatising mental illness".
