Pip cuts will ruin disabled people’s lives. This is Labour’s poll tax moment | Welfare
There is no doubtOpening, March 18). The current system is hostile, ineffective and difficult to move-often gets worse for the physical and mental health of the demands, through the evaluation and processes of energy resumption, gases and turmoil to fight.
The government suggests that the way to make the disabled in work is to invest more in job coaches – as if the disabled society simply lacks confidence in jobs. In fact, it is the employers who lack confidence in taking us. To find one can provide less hours than a minimum (for a person who has a long phase) or provide multiple satisfactory days per month (for regular hospital visits) is almost impossible.
If the government is serious in improving access to work in the disabled society, this It is where the investment should happen. We need something like the industrial discipline scheme, where employers will receive financial support to employ people with limited ability to work – which provides us with a fair living fee in low hours. This can open the talents of the educated and wonderful disabled society.
The name and address presented
These proposed changes must be opposed to PEP. I feel overwhelming anxious whenever I receive a message from the Department of Labor and Pensions. Living with epilepsy, an unpredictable condition, limits life, affects every aspect of my life. This DWP daily living reflects; I receive 13 points and qualify for a PIP reinforcement rate. Under the “Four Points in One Class” system, I will completely lose PIP.
About 90 % of the time, I work well, but for the other 10 %, I don’t know from or where I am, and I am very exposed. This reform ignores disabilities like me, to stay safe, I need help in all fields, all the time. I support social welfare reform, but not at the expense of the disabled. These proposals will have devastating effects on their lives.

Why does the government wage revenge against the disabled? I invite global credit and PIP. Without PIP, I will become homeless. Is this suitable for a 62 -year -old child who paid taxes for more than 40 years and has a distorted body now by working on construction sites? I had to wait more than 18 months to receive PIP and go to hell with DWP, who rejected countless times to accept that I have a long -term disability. It is now expected to find a suitable job when I am unable to do so, and it will end up accepting a low -wage job. If I do not, all my benefits will be stopped.
Rachel Reeves, the Treasury Ministry and Les Kendall must ask herself about the reason for this exhaustion The government can find 200 billion pounds of nuclear weapons, as well as more than 14 billion pounds on defensive spending, but it is more concerned that disabled people have half a decent life with PIP payments.

Government proposal Restricting the health component of global credit For those under the age of 22, it will have a devastating effect on young care graduates. This is more likely than other young people for health conditions or disabilities due to the early shock and the care system that fails to provide the support they need. Many of them have no family to resort to financial or emotional assistance.
This reduction will reduce its already limited income by about 5,000 pounds per year. Without this life line, more youthful contestants will struggle to buy basics such as food, rent and transport, increase the risk of displacement, mental health crises and long -term unemployment. Instead of helping them build a future, this policy will lead them to more than the margins of society.
We urge the ministers to reconsider before causing permanent damage to some of the most deprived young people in our societies.

I write this as a disabled man in the late thirties. I have been hunting jobs now 13 months since I approached the family, and I have previously worked in a part -time office job. The past few years have been difficult due to my deterioration. This means that I now use a wheelchair, when I used to walk.
PIP is not a way to work. Disabilities are stressful and constantly related to our limited energy resources, with the desire to be part of society. Often this means the ability to work part -time, which does not provide sufficient income on its own.
PIP is a benefit to support additional costs for disruption, so we may have some quality of life. The operation of the accessible wheelchair is expensive because it is a car with heavy specialized adjustments. It is often accessible sport miles and cannot be easily accessible by public transport. I need help to cut my nails – these costs are at least 30 pounds per session. I need a care worker to support me daily – this costs at least 80 pounds a week.
This is just a small snapshot of the additional costs of disruption. PIP freezing and cutting means that we will return in time and ignore all hard work legislation for the disability rights process over the years. This year is the thirtieth anniversary of Disability The Discrimination Law – but who has a reason to celebrate?

This will be remembered by the same method as the Margaret Tishcher fees and the tuition fees of Nick Clog. Those caused riots. This will not, but the disabled Satani will not be forgiven.
