Tomorrow is so important - These reforms are predicted to cause 350,000 people, including 50,000 children, to fall into poverty. You can still access travel funding until midnight tonight!

This is your opportunity to tell your MP your story. How will these cuts impact you, your family, and your community.

We will be providing everyone with some key stats that you can hand to your MP after you’ve spoken to them.

Here’s what you need to know

When constituents lose PIP, they lose carers allowance. Local councils would then be forced to foot the bill for care. Cuts to PIP just move financial pressure elsewhere.

Rather than saving £5bn, actual delivered savings will be £100M or just 2% by 2030. That’s less than one day of NHS funding.

PIP is not an out-of-work benefit; cutting it will decrease disabled people’s ability to work.

The cost-cutting for the Access to Work scheme that has been announced will reduce employment further

These reforms are predicted to cause 350,000 people, including 50,000 children, to fall into poverty.

Around 66,000 Disabled people (under 22) are set to lose around £45 a week in support, with some hit with a "double whammy", no longer qualifying for PIP or UC health component, losing at least £9,600 per year.

Green carders - once inside the house of commons - head to the information desk in the central lobby to green card

Once inside, go to the information desk in the central lobby to collect and fill in a green card.

Hand the green card back to the information desk.

If your MP agrees to meet, you can join us in Westminster Hall for the Mass Lobby.

If they are unavailable - come to the registration desk to let us know.

There will be volunteers on the day to help you.

Date, time, and location of your MP’s upcoming surgeries should be advertised on their social media and/or website.
They are usually held around once a month.”
