Stop the Proposed Cuts to PIP for Mental Health: Protect Disabled Lives

Background

The UK plans to cut PIP for 1 million disabled people, especially those with mental health conditions, to save £5 billion. This will increase suicide rates, force people into crisis, and raise NHS costs. Cutting PIP isn’t an economic solution—it’s an attack on disabled lives.

Additional details

These cuts will harm: ➡️ People with mental health conditions – Losing PIP means losing access to therapy, medication, and support, leading to higher suicide rates. ➡️ Disabled people – Many rely on PIP for independence and daily needs. ➡️ Veterans, the elderly, and the terminally ill – PIP provides essential care. ➡️ Carers and neurodivergent individuals – Families will be left in crisis. Forcing people into hospitals will only raise costs. We must stop this.
