Today is sad indictment of how we make policy in this country. Our view on the disability benefits cut vote.

💚 Are you joining us on Wednesday 9 July for #ActNowChangeForever? 👉 theclimatecoalition.org/act-now-change…

Our message from outside Parliament is clear: Stop the cuts. Disabled people are not your political or fiscal football - our voices should be at the heart of decisions made about our lives. #StopTheCuts #WelfareNotWarfare #KillTheBill

Read our analysis of proposed changes to the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill. We are calling for MPs to vote against the Bill. cpag.org.uk/news/disabilit…

Disabled people have endured weeks of uncertainty, worry & stress because of how the Welfare Bill has been handled. They have been badly let down. The government’s climbdown on PIP is welcome, but these ill-thought proposals should never have gotten this far in the first place.

#WelfareReformBill Let’s be clear - PIP is for disabled people’s care & mobility needs. The extra costs of disability which are considerable. The cost of medications you can’t get on the NHS, special dietary requirements, taxis to get to hospital appointments

Yesterday was a day of shame for this Government. #WelfareReform #Shambles

#WelfareBill Keep piling the pressure on MPs What to tell your MP before the third reading Here are a list of things to tell your MP before 3rd reading on 9th July 2025 benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/what-to-t…

The UK's welfare system is not generous: spending fell well below the average for high-income countries in the 1980s and never recovered. Leaving people on PIP or UC in poverty is holding back our economy, not to mention the impact on society. We need to invest in people.

#WelfareReformBill This is what we need to fight cuts to universal credit health element from April 2026 will see new claims cut from £97 to £50 per week & payments frozen after that This will impact on 700,000 disabled claimants benefitsandwork.co.uk/news/what-has-…

🚨 Disabled people could face an extra £15,000 a year in costs by 2029, with energy bills and heating among the biggest pressures Even after the Government’s last-minute U-turn on Personal Independence Payment cuts, huge numbers of disabled people will still be left struggling.

Thank you Anna Sabine MP for speaking up where it counts. Children with No Recourse to Public Funds. Families just outside of UC eligibility. Far too many are still being left behind. #FreeSchoolMealsForAll would ensure every child has the essentials to thrive.

🚨 Let’s talk about the disability bill. This is what we know so far…🧵

📺 This morning, BASW gave evidence to UK Covid-19 Inquiry module on adult social care. As the only UK social work organisation with core participant status, we used our platform to champion social workers and advocate to policy-makers for critical improvements for the profession.

✅ Promoting greater understanding of the role of social work was a key feature of our evidence to UK Covid-19 Inquiry today. A better understood and respected profession is vital for ensuring that governments recognise the distinct work that social workers do in our communities.

❗ The scale of remaining cuts will still be devastating and risk pushing more disabled people to food banks. These cuts must NOT go ahead. Ask your MP to vote against the cuts next week ⤵️ action.trussell.org.uk/votenoagainstc…
