Stop the goverment from cutting more from disabled benefits
The government needs to change their plans to cut disability benefits. Instead of supporting disabled people they have decided to use outdated ableist views to penalise us - none of us choose to be on benefits out of work, we are due to our health. This will not change at all by cutting support
