PIP's assessment is undertaken by the for-profit firm Capita. What is their mandate? Does their contract stipulate to award claims as seldom as possible? Rumours abound of staff bonuses for claim rejections.

Instead of reductive slogans like 'sick note culture', let's examine some structural factors.
Working conditions, salaries & benefits have declined for years. MH services are overwhelmed as a few psychiatrists cover entire counties. You can't solve poverty with oppression.

What frustrates you most about the DWP?

While some may seek to target, attack, stigmatise & criminalise vulnerable people - we'll be doing the EXACT opposite Streets Kitchen #Camden tonight! 🍴🫖❤️support & #Solidarity will be the menu for our friends experiencing #Homelessness . #GiveAShift #criminaljusticebill

'Renters are living UNDER DURESS!'

Powerful words from Natasha - one of the many 100,000s of renters served with a cruel section 21 notice in the five years since the tories promised to abolish this exploitative practice.

It's time to stop the evictions.

DWP officers have been accused of issuing warnings of heightened fines if they challenge 'vindictive' benefit penalties. gazettelive.co.uk/news/uk-world-…

Nationally, 142,000 homeless children are living in places like commercial hotels, converted offices and dingy hostels, after rents and no-fault evictions have soared across the country theguardian.com/society/2024/a…

It's time to shift policies, narratives and power to value the vital care provided by millions of parents, unpaid carers, childcare and social care workers & finally break the link between care, poverty and inequalities.

Thanks to all poll participants re the #Homelessness Vagrancy Act. Happy (but unsurprised) not a single person felt it was justified. If you think it is utterly unjust be sure to join Crisis 's campaign to repeal it!
