Closed Stop PIP Cuts: Protect Support for Disabled People

Closed on

We call on the UK government to reverse the changes to Personal Independence Payments (PIP). We think these cuts unfairly target disabled people who rely on PIP for essential support. We would like fair and compassionate welfare policies that protect, not punish, the most vulnerable in society.

We think the cuts to PIP will devastate disabled people who rely on it for essential support. PIP isn’t a luxury—it covers care, mobility, and basic needs. In the financial year ending 2024, PIP fraud was estimated at 0.0%. We think this shows that these cuts are not about reducing fraud, but taking from those who truly need it. We think it seems that the government can afford many other costly projects, but for those most in need, they apparently cannot afford it.

    Personal Independence Payment and disabled people: debate in Parliament

    On 7 May, a debate took place in Parliament entitled 'Personal Independence Payment and disabled people.'

    This was a Westminster Hall debate led by Diane Abbott MP. The Minister for Social Security and Disability, Sir Stephen Timms MP, responded on behalf of the Government.

    Explainer

    Westminster Hall debates give MPs an opportunity to debate a topic of their choice, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of backbench MPs, political parties, and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.

    See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
