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

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.

More 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.
