Stop the proposed Disability Benefit cuts
Thousands of people in the UK have a disability, physical or otherwise, and many of these people use Disability Benefits provided by the government as a means to survive. By putting a stop to the proposed benefit cuts, disabled people will continue to have the freedom and independence they need.

Background
In the financial year ending 2024, the DWP reported an estimated 0.1% PIP claims overpaid due to fraud, 0.2% due to claimant error and 0.2% due to official error. This is not enough to constitute removing the benefit for everyone in the UK who relies on it. These benefits offer a lifeline and independence where possible, and the proposed cuts will leave thousands of disabled people at-risk and could lead to the deaths of many if people no longer have the means and funds necessary to survive.
