This is so important! The concessions have not fixed the bill and we stand with other DPOs in asking MPs to vote against the bill.

I just asked the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions to name a single disabled people’s organisation that supports the Government’s “reforms”. She couldn’t name one. The Government should scrap this awful Bill, but if it doesn’t I will vote against it.

Whatever promises of changes have been made to MPs, two things remain: 1) When MPs vote tonight, the 4-point PIP rule is still in the Bill 2) Over 700,000 low-paid sick & disabled new claimants will lose their UC health payments - £3,000 on average. That's £2 BILLION of cuts.

Chaotic, rushed-through concessions drawn up on the back of a napkin are no way to make policy that will affect millions of people. MPs must vote NO on benefit cuts, and work with Disabled people to coproduce reforms to welfare that help Disabled people instead of punishing us.
