Welfare Cuts are Deadly

The government have proposed that everyone already claiming PIP (Personal Independence Payment) will remain on the existing plan. Any new claimants will face a tougher criteria. Scope report that on an average households with a disabled person cost an additional £1,095 a month. Universal Credit is being cut and potentially frozen in certain areas. It said an estimated 150,000 people may be pushed into relative poverty by 2030 as a result of the welfare cuts. We believe these cuts will have a detrimental impact on people. We do not want to hear about well wishes and how the government think a forcing people into work will make people feel positive.

Please write to your MP asking them to say no to welfare cuts:
