Stop the Proposed PIP Reforms That Will Harm Disabled People

2. Maintain direct financial support rather than reimbursement schemes.
3. Agree an independent, fair, transparent, evidence-based assessment of disability benefits.
4. Involve disabled people in policy decisions affecting them
???? PIP fraud – Government data from the DWP (2024) reports a 0.0% fraud rate.
???? Mental health – 70% say the PIP assessment process worsens their mental health. (Disability Benefits Consortium, 2023). Disabled people 3x more prone to suicide, with PIP stress a key factor to mental decline. (University of Glasgow, 2022)
???? Proposed changes strip disabled people of independence – The replacement of cash with refund schemes, deliberately create barriers to aids, and add needless bureaucracy
