Whatever promises of changes have been made to MPs, two things remain: 1) When MPs vote tonight, the 4-point PIP rule is still in the Bill 2) Over 700,000 low-paid sick & disabled new claimants will lose their UC health payments - £3,000 on average. That's £2 BILLION of cuts.

I don’t know if anyone saw this horrific story of Rose, a young carer forced to repay £2000? She’s been looking after her mum since she was EIGHT, and has set up a crowdfund to help clear the debt but has ZERO donations. Can we help Rose?? crowdfunder.co.uk/p/young-carer-…

STATEMENT FROM DISABILITY REBELLION ON THE WELFARE REFORM BILL Disability Rebellion is disappointed and extremely outraged that the Maskell amendment was rejected and MPs then went on to voted to send the welfare reform bill to a second reading. This is a massive betrayal of

To the Labour MPs who voted to support the Government & Liz Kendall & Stephen Timms. Shame on you!! Is this really why you became an MP? To make those who are vulnerable, suffer even more? #LabourMPs #DisabilityBenefits Thank you to those who fought for us.

Those treacherous Labour MPs don't understand the physical & mental torture they've put us through. I'm exhausted, I haven't been sleeping, anxiety levels so high I've had chest pain & my health is in a bad way. We've had 14 yrs of Tories destroying our lives...

Please can we ensure people are aware that not all ESA is moving to Universal Credit, as there are 2 very distinct types of ESA. One is income-based. The other is Contribution-Based. Only the income-based is migrating to UC. CB is not and is also under fire from the cuts.

Aside from PIP, the cut to the Universal Credit Health Element is still in the Bill. This support for sick and disabled people will be HALVED from £97 a week to £50. Over 700,000 new claimants will be hit. They’ll lose £3,000 on average. That’s a £2 BILLION cut!

I woke up with a migraine today. When they happen during the night, it's not in time to take medication so that's me done for a couple of days.

What happened yesterday with the disability benefit cuts in the Universal Credit and PIP Bill was hard to follow. Here's a thread of where we're at now and what comes next 🧵 1/7

A disabled person is admitted to hospital. Their carer stays — because staff can’t meet their needs. But the system says: Stop PIP. Stop Carer’s Allowance. As if the care ends. As if the bills stop. It’s not support. It’s punishment — and it’s built on ignorance.
