This should be headline news in MSM, this is major, so please amplify The disability minister (Timms) walked past a disabled woman who collapsed on the floor at the end of a meeting about gov plans to cut disability benefits (& never even checked) CALLOUS disabilitynewsservice.com/shock-of-activ…

The disabled community’s activism over the past few months has been (and will continue to be!) utterly phenomenal. I’ve been campaigning on disability benefits for 10 years; many I know for 25+. But the way we’re coming together now—OMG. It’s extraordinary.

We’re looking for people to create videos to share at #TakingThePip on how these proposed disability cuts would affect you. Can be short and talking to camera. We want to try and make the stories more personal we’re sharing. Can anyone help by making a video? TakingThePIP

Government: "Big cuts to disability benefits are necessary to fund a small increase in support to find a job" Also government: Slashing Access to Work scheme that keeps us in work. Putting more people into poverty doesn't create jobs for people too sick to work. #TakingThePIP

Benefit cap could see countless PIP claimants left homeless after cuts, but DWP has no idea how many. No impact assessment, then. Government see our lives as somehow disposable. disabilitynewsservice.com/benefit-cap-co… via Disability News Service

DPAC Disability News Service Cutting PIP doesn’t help disabled people into work—it pushes them out of it. There's zero evidence it helps employment. For many, losing PIP means losing the support that makes work possible. This isn’t reform. It’s sabotage. #SavePIP #DisabilityRights

Shockingly the DWP and ministers appear to have done no impact assessment of their cuts causing mass homelessness due to disabled people losing exemption from the benefit cap.
